There are many features that an office chair should possess to ensure that it is a high quality product. These features will allow a good office chair to withstand intensive use, provide comfort to its user, prevent serious injury, and contribute to overall office productivity. Most important, proper ergonomic design is essential in providing adequate back support and helping to alleviate the discomfort that is often associated with being seated for a prolonged amount of time.Today’s employees can easily find themselves seated for extensive periods of time throughout the workday. Many of their required office tasks involve frequent use of a compu
One of the innovations brought by these technologies -and in front of which we are still perplexed and hesitant- is telecommuting or distance work which is presented as a means to reduce costs and to increase productivity.
The fundamental characteristics of telecommuting are:
a- The place of work is no longer the same, it is distance work.
b- There is a new form of organization of work.
c- The interactions between the employee and the employer are achieved primarily thanks to the means of telecommunications.
All experiments in this field show that telecommuting has many advantages and opens new prospects for a better productivity, a better life for the individual and the family. Yet, experts point out that there are still a few drawbacks.

One of the keys to successful marketing is identifying what makes your business unique and letting everybody know about it. This helps your prospects to understand why they should buy from you rather than your competition. When used successfully, it makes your product or services the obvious choice. This is often called a USP or Unique Selling Proposition.The best USPs consist of unique concepts that set your business favorably apart from the competition. When you do this, you effectively make the prospective customer a promise that you do things a certain way, and get specific results. Therefore, it’s vitally important that you never use a USP

The term ‘World Class’ is thrown around everywhere in the business world today but most don’t know what it really means.World Class manufacturing, for example, infers that a company uses advanced quality control and inspection systems to manage irregularities and variations in finished goods. World Class might be a term that a CEO might attribute to himself as a progressive, forward thinking, best practices oriented manager.In truth, the term World Class must not be ascribed to oneself, but is a label that the customer spontaneously assigns as a reaction to very high levels of customer satisfaction. ‘World Class’ according to the customer is

The ability to solve complicated problems quickly is more important than ever in today’s tough economy.From the time we’re little kids, we’re taught to solve problems by trial and error. That’s fine if the problem is as simple as a burned out light bulb. When the problem is a muddle of business, technical and political problems, we need something that helps us untangle the mess. Unless you’re Harry Potter, treating a mess like a burned out light bulb is as effective as wishing for magic.Fortunately, there are alternatives to magic. Many key concepts in problem solving seem obvious but are often overlooked, causing delays and frustration in ge

II- Disadvantages:
a- Disadvantages from the point of view of the telecommuter:
possibility of exposure to loneliness.
fear of being cut from professional environment (office, colleagues…)
difficulty of reconciling family life and professional life for those who do not know how to organize and manage their work well.
difficulty in managing time for those who are not well-organized.
possibility of negative effects on the career: slowness of promotion, likeliness to be forgotten, neglected…
fear of female agents of telecommuting as a means which might accentuate or revive career disparity with their male colleagues.

fear of the changes resulting from the passage to telecommuting: need for changing all work methods and communication with the personnel and the users.
