The average office employee spends around 8 hours per day sitting at a desk. Considering the fact that the best way to reduce pressure on the back is to actually be in a standing position, the continuous amount of pressure this can put onto the back, neck and shoulders, particularly if seated on chairs which do not provide the correct support and comfort, is immense, to say the least.

This can cause a lot of pain (causing distraction and reduction of productivity) at best, and serious injury or even permanent disability (resulting in the employer having to pay for treatment and other possible costs) at worst. It is therefore advisable to choose leather office chair which are comfortable, functional and ergonomic. Although leather office chair tend to be more expensive, they are worth the extra investment, as they will not only reduce the risk of pain and injury, but have also been shown to reduce fatigue. As a result, they drastically improve efficiency and productivity, as well as elevating the mood of employees and thus creating a better atmosphere at work. They are also very stylish, which will improve the look of your office. An aesthetically pleasing working environment will also raise employee's spirits and add to improved productivity!A leather office chair should allow the person sitting on it to have the soles of their feet touching the floor completely, as opposed to just being able to reach the floor with their toes. In order to properly provide the required support at waist level, the leather office chair should have a curved back. Armrests, which will help to keep both neck and shoulders relaxed, should also be present. As employees do tend to come in a variety of shapes and sizes, it is also very important to make sure that the ergonomic chair you opt for can be adjusted to individual needs. A good chair should have the facility to adjust not only the seat height, but also the angle at which the chair itself tilts, as well as the height and tilt of back and armrests. This may also be a good time to look into desks with adjustable heights - a very tall employee may find it impossible to get his leg under the desk once his new chair has been adjusted to the correct seating position!New designs of leather office chair is emerging day by day. Occasionally, they appear downright inconvenient, and many employers, as well as employees, are reluctant to try them. However, once they are used to them, those who have experienced discomfort or back pain working seated on regular chairs usually find that they recover, or at least improve. In short, a good, well designed leather office chair should not only conform to international standards of health and safety, but also to ergonomic rules. Considering the rewards through improved efficiency and productivity, as well as the cost - both in human and monetary terms - saved by preventing injury to employees, ergonomic office chairs are the only logical choice.
