Workplace5: What steps are you taking to improve your workplace? Or what would you advise those who want to improve?

Hello, friends of the Self-Development Club Community, I welcome you all to my page as I make this very first post in the community and as well making an entry to the last series of the My Workplace Contest series. I must commend the organizers with this concept of coming up with this initiative given the importance of the workplace to the mental and physical health of humans.

A workplace may be our place of work or home which either be an indoor or outdoor arena. All of this, this defines who we are, and how efficient and productive we are vis-a-vis our daily output. There is no other reason for this other than the quality and quantity of time we spend in our workplace. This is the reason we have to be deliberate and conscious of our workplace because places like this may mare or make us as well.

Researchers have come to quantity the workplace and postulated that over 70% of man's active work-life is spent in a workplace place. Let us take for instance a typical scenario in my region, where the public servant resumes by 8 am and closes by 4 pm. This means spending a greater active day of our time in a given place. To take us further, I will be sharing some insights about mine.

	My WorkPlace

In my place of work, I am in the sales unit/department of a telecommunication brand where subscriber acquisition is the sole target. Sometimes there are field-related activities as well as office/administrative tasks done. But in whichever way there are basic tools needed by every sales personnel of my category.

Some of my workplace tools

• Laptop:

This is one basic tool that helps me multitask while both on a field visit as well as in the office carrying out some administrative functions. In my workplace, this is one of the essential tools I provided for myself because of the necessity it brings to the table. Reports and Presentations are done and well executed using this tool. Presently, it was upgraded to this from a lower version originally in place. This was to help increase the storage capacity, speed, and effectiveness of use.

• My MIFI Device:

This is another second key device that has helped me due to its portability. It is a device that helps emit internet services to all internet-enabled devices. With this, I can get 4G internet speed uninterrupted while in use. It can easily be moved from place to place which makes it durable and efficient for purpose at all times.

• The LAN Port/Cabe:

This is another internet source but at this, it is a LAN connection that ensures intranet connection amongst all companies. This is an intranet that only guarantees access to the internet just only for company-owned mailing IPs. In this case, this can only be used while using the intra-mail in the office. Most times, it does not serve the purpose of carrying out other functions.

Steps Taken to Improve on them

• My Laptop:

This was practically my own affair. The company did not make any provisions for this and hence it falls on me to make provisions for to. The first laptop device I got actually served its purpose but at a time, it outlived its usefulness due to technological advancement. The capacity dropped, efficiency no more serving, had to quickly save up and made a replacement for myself. I was able to meet a known vendor through a friend who helped me bargain and payment was done in two installments. This was purchased and since then, issues bothering the use of laptop devices for reporting and presentations have been completely saved.

• My MIFI Device:

This was necessitated after the need to upgrade to the 4G internet connection. The previously used internet 3G modems were becoming slow and outdated for use. What about the intranet cable connection? This was also limiting my scope of internet use due to the restricted access to surf other internet-enabled webs. I was able to buy this MIFI device to help fix all internet concerns.

• My Sitting Chair:

That was another stress that required my attention. This also determines one's efficiency and health condition since we are expected to have a long sitting position with it. The strain and back pains after the day's job are also predominantly from how we used this item for longer periods. I was able to get a chair that allows me to rest properly while using the workspace and as well as observe the routine easing off by taking a stroll after every 30 minutes. This has improved my system and also created a balance in my work life. The company at this time was able to make provisions for the ideal seat just as seen in the images above.
