Employee burnout is a premier issue in local and state agency environments. Working in high-stress positions can lead to physical and emotional exhaustion, reduced productivity, and a sense of detachment from one’s work.

A versatile approach often overlooked is workspace design featuring ergonomic government furniture that significantly impacts employee comfort, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. A well-designed office chair can reduce physical strain and discomfort by providing better lumbar support, a headrest for long work hours, and proper seat height alignment with desks.
