The Office Temperature Wars

Alt Text“Oh, it’s so hot in here”

“Brr, it’s like an ice box in this office”

“The thermostat is being managed from our corporate office that is in another state.”

Office Climate, we have all heard or even been the one that has said one or all of the above statements.

Here are some facts about workplace temperature and productivity:

  • One of the top office complaints among employees is about the temperature being either too hot or too cold.
  • Office Productivity can even drop up to 15% if the temperature is too uncomfortable causing distractions from work.
  • Trying to keep each employee “comfortable” in an office is almost impossible. Everyone is different and what temperature is comfortable for one person is not necessarily the same for the person working across the hall.

Stack-and-Shred Wins 2013 SunDANCE Office Supply Championship!

Championannouncement-

Our 2013 Champion fought through possibly the hardest draw in the entire tournament. The Swingline Stack-and-Shred cross cut an early matchup with tournament heavyweight, 3M portable projector (https://www.sundanceoffice.com/sundance/outpost/item_details/MMMMP410) with a close 15-13 victory. Following the first round upset, the Stack-and-Shred made quick work of the tech favorite Logitech iPad Keyboard/Case (https://www.sundanceoffice.com/sundance/outpost/item_details/LOG920004013), coasting to a 10-5 vote margin in the second round.

After a week of hype and buildup, the Stack-and-Shred met tournament darling, the Safco Zenergy Ball Chair (https://www.sundanceoffice.com/sundance/outpost/item_details/SAF4750GS), with the upswing in health conscious office workers many predicted a Zenergy Ball Championship in 2013. It was not to be though, with a passionate voting block of business professionals who saw the unique time saving capabilities of the Stack-and-Shred. After the two traded early votes, the Swingline Stack-and-Shred slid by with an 11-10 voting victory over the Safco Zenergy Ball Chair.

The Championship pitted the underdog Stack-and-Shred against the ultra “cool” Dyson Bladeless Air Multiplier Fan (https://www.sundanceoffice.com/sundance/outpost/item_details/DYS2337001). Early voting had this matchup as a dead heat, but as voting extended it was clear the Dyson had no setting capable of blowing past the Stack-and-Shred. With a sound 31-16 voting edge, this year’s champion is the Swingline Stack-and-Shred Shredder! (https://www.sundanceoffice.com/sundance/outpost/item_details/SWI1757572)
