PICKING THE RIGHT FURNITURE
|
As you may already know, UCSF has a new furniture contract with One Workplace (OWP) and Steelcase. For the next few months, we will be highlighting some of the research and information from OWP and Steelcase. We hope this will be helpful in your decision making when it comes time to order furniture.
From Steelcase's 360 Magazine:
The Office Renaissance
It wasn't long after smart phones, tablets and ubiquitous Wi-Fi that workplace pundits predicted the end of
the office. If emerging technologies allow people to work anywhere, they reasoned, then who needs the office?
As it turns out, the vast majority of workers do and it matters when it comes to employee engagement.
The office renaissance recognizes the critical role that emotions play in the process of work. New research illuminates the connection between emotions and cognition, as well as physical well-being, and validates the role of emotions in achieving success.
Steelcase researchers and designers have explored the underlying connections between people's emotional, cognitive and physical well-being.
"
You need to understand how and why people use a space, and then create spaces to reflect clarity, simplicity and purpose," says Cherie Johnson, Steelcase Global Design Director.

BEARBUY TIP
Q:
A purchase order (PO) was created, but it has the incorrect chartfield/accounting codes or the funding has expired. How can I change it?
A:
Keep in mind that changing the PO chartfield/accounting codes will apply only to future invoices applied against the PO. If a PO has not been fully invoiced, you may still submit a Change Order Request in BearBuy to change the chartfield/accounting codes of the PO. But if the invoice is already billed against the PO and you need to change the chartfield/accounting codes for that invoice, your department would have to complete the appropriate cost transfer.
