Getting up and moving around during the workday is essential to your health and productivity, as well as that of your employees. Even if you use a fitness-conscious standing desk, it’s easy to become stiff and achy. A versatile and high quality sports ball like this one brings the variety of movement and muscle utilization that your body craves during your 9-5. Try replacing your chair with it for an hour, doing a few simple low-intensity exercises with it during a break or even bringing it into an informal meeting. You’ll exercise small muscle groups that often get overlooked in traditional chairs, while energizing yourself and even inspiring some envy.
We’re guessing you never knew that a cushion could help improve your posture, coordination and abdominal strength. There’s almost no end to what the wobble cushion can do. It can help you strengthen muscle groups and improve balance when used during a wide variety of exercises; it’s also excellent lumbar support for those working in a traditional chair, and can be used as a meditation seat or a support pad while standing. They’re an interesting and exciting alternative to floor cushions in your break room; you can even take them outside for an impromptu meeting in sunny weather, or the company retreat. With an anti-slip nubby grip and a variety of color options, the sky’s the limit when it comes to this simple cushion.
Plants are a great way to bring a healthy, natural and modern look to your office for less. Chic planters like this one elevate the look even more. Everyone will appreciate the touch of green and the trend-forward approach to decor; touches like this communicate that your company is mindful of, and adaptable to, change. Try several of these wall-mounted planters at different heights to create visual interest while you boost morale and naturally improve office air quality. Ask for a plant caretaker with a green thumb to water them; someone is sure to enthusiastically volunteer.

When your employees have a morale-boosting environment filled with considerate tools to help them feel better, they work better too. They will appreciate the effort you make to ensure that their air is clean, safe and pleasant to breathe. Every measure you take to make sure the office runs smoothly also says you value their time and well-being. Keep your office neat and tidy with a simple shelf to keep your AV equipment organized and at eye-level.  Bring in lots of gorgeous natural plants in attractive planters, and a few versatile posture-improving exercise cushions, and equally fun and original sports balls and watch morale and productivity shoot skyward.
