Consider noisy office environments

Manufacturers of corded headsets can accommodate busy office environments where background noise can become distracting.

I recommend: Find a great selection of corded phone headsets at Hello Direct. Hello Direct is both a manufacturer of corded headsets and a provider of corded headsets, although they also carry other manufacturers of corded headsets, including GN Netcom. Take a look at the GN Netcom 2100 Series Headset, which includes such features as dual microphones, a noise-cancelling microphone, quick-disconnect and your choice of earpiece. The Hello Direct Ultralight EX Headset offers an anti-slip headband, a pivoting speaker and a flex boom style, ultra noise-cancelling microphone.

Consider small office environments

Small office environments and home offices may also find corded headsets to be extremely useful.

I recommend: As a provider of corded headsets, Headset Zone carries a nice selection of Plantronics corded phone headsets for the small office or home office. Plantronics S12 Desktop Phone Headset System offers many conveniences, such as a convertible headset, a noise-cancelling microphone and a Firefly in-use indicator light, which lets others know that you are on a call. Also consider Plantronics T20 2-Line Phone Headset which includes a complete, dual-line telephone, an on-line indicator and a headset stand.

Consider the safety of your workplace environment

Providing your employees with the tools they need, such as corded telephone headsets, can decrease the number of insurance claims and the overall satisfaction and productivity of your staff. It's ideal to buy corded headsets for anyone in your office with a phone-intensive job.

I recommend: Ask your employees to take an online ergonomic evaluation. Review OSHA’s ergonomic checklist to learn about your employees' overall comfort level while working at their desks.
