Functional, versatile and great value for money, promotional mouse mats are one of the most popular promotional items, particularly because everyone with a computer needs one. If your employees regularly use computers for long periods, one of the best promotional items you can give them is an ergonomically-designed mouse mat that includes a wrist rest.
Why are ergonomic mouse mats so important? The answer to this question lies in the fact that the human hand, wrist and arm is simply not designed to perform repetitive motions for long periods of time. Anyone who frequently types or uses a mouse for long periods will know only too well that this type of repetitive activity can cause tired, aching shoulders, arms, wrists and hands. In severe cases of long-term repetitive mouse and keyboard use, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injury can cause nerve damage, leading to intense pain and preventing use of the affected area. In the worst of cases, surgery to reduce pressure on the affected nerves is the only effective treatment.
Preventing these potentially debilitating conditions is so easy; it’s a shame that more companies to do not give their employees the means to do so. Provide your employees with ergonomic mouse mats that include wrist rests, and make sure they take regular breaks from computer work (five to ten minutes of every hour of consistent computer use is sufficient)—for most employees, this will be enough to prevent them from developing even mild cases of Repetitive Strain Injury. Mouse mats with integrated wrist rests can be purchased very cheaply—for little more than the cost of a mouse mat alone, in fact. These can be purchased for as little as ₤1.23, which is a very small price to pay for the continued good health of your employees.
Some other possibilities for adding ergonomically-designed equipment to your offices includes keyboard rests that are designed to support the wrists while typing, and arms supports that computer users can place to support the arms and shoulders, as well as the wrists. Wrist rests for keyboards are very affordable, with these available for as little as ₤1.46 for a suitably-sized item.
These are also ideal items to give to clients, customers and other business associates. Giving a mouse mat with this essential addition will likely make them happily give up any promotional mouse mats they currently own in favor of the much more comfortable one you’ve supplied them with. These are ideal promotional items for a wide variety of different companies—if you already distribute promotional mouse mats, it’s definitely a good idea to consider switching to an ergonomically-designed variety. Your employees, clients and associates will appreciate your thoughtfulness in providing an item that is designed to increase their comfort. Your employees in particular will benefit from using these items. Employees who do not have to suffer through the strain and stress that repetitive motions can cause will be happier employees who are better able to focus on work—and your company in turn will reap additional benefits.
