Work Stations & Cubicles

Accommodating your whole workforce equally can be a challenge. Employees with different jobs will have different needs for all their tasks. For this reason, modular work stations and cubicles have become an important part of modern office life.

The needs of your employees will be the dominant factor in your choice of work stations. In just about every case, you will need electricity to power computers, fax machines, and other business tools in your work stations. Depending on the set up of your office, you can choose base feed (power that comes from a wall outlet) or top feed (wires coming down from the ceiling). If your work stations are next to walls with existing power sources your choice may be easy. If you have electric running through the ceiling you can drop the wires and add a utility pole, a simple column that conceals wiring.

Modular work stations can also help to reduce noise. While no system will eliminate noise completely, some design choices will make your system more efficient than others. Lower panels and glass surfaces can make for a more stylish look, but they both reduce noise absorption.

That said, visual aesthetics are can important for both the morale and the productivity of your employees. Many modular work station manufacturers offer a wide range of colors, patterns, and fabrics for cubicle walls, allowing you to choose a look that is right for you and your employees. Of course, if appearances are low on the priority list, you will save money by choosing plain walls, less popular colors, or overstocked fabrics.

You should also keep your filing needs in mind when setting up your work stations and cubicles. For a fairly paperless office, you may only need some simple modular desk top filing shelves. These are convenient because of the ease in which you can add to them if your filing needs grow. For more demanding filing needs, there are a plethora of filing cabinet units that can be added to and which move easily.
