Working in an office can be a great experience for many but it can also bring a number of drawbacks too if you’re not fully equipped with all the necessary office items. We will now go through some of the typical office essential items that we think should be included in every office workers office survival kit. Let’s begin…
Idea 1: emergency pharmaceutical items
It’s extremely vital to have pharmaceutical backups such as paracetamol, lemsip and strepsils at your desk especially during the winter period. Let’s face it, when you’re working in an intimate office environment, you’re at a higher risk of catching a cold from one of your fellow colleagues. This is why it is always handy to keep all the crucial medical goods by your side at all times.
Idea 2: headphones
We are not suggesting that you should become an antisocial office worker who is constantly glued to their headphones but having a pair to use occasionally is always a good idea. This is especially true for creative content writers that can do without their noisy office surroundings when creating an important content piece. This is when noise-cancelling headphones are often a godsend for most of us.
Idea 3: desk refreshments
It’s also a superb idea for workers to keep some tasty refreshments at their office desks along with a few packets of minty chewing gum/polos as part of their daily survival kit. It’s only natural for workers to feel hungry throughout the course of the day so instead of having to pop out to the shops several times one can just keep a sufficient amount of refreshments at their desk such as peanuts or raisins to nibble on.
On a separate note, the mints are great to keep your breath minty fresh especially before executing a presentation in front of your clients.
Idea 4: desk top USB charger
In the modern working place, there really is no escaping technology. We will always find our mobile phone devices and other electronic devices like the iPad at close proximity to us. For this given reason, you should have a desk top USB charger plugged in so you’re always fully charged and reachable to everyone including your clients.
Idea 5: hand sanitiser
As a corporate workspace is always heavily occupied with a large sum of workers, it is only natural for germs to be floating about everywhere. To ensure that you’re completely germ-free we would greatly recommend staff members to keep a couple of hand sanitiser bottles of at their desks. This should essentially be an important component of your office survival kit.
