War for talents: How the right chair becomes a competitive advantage

The search for skilled workers has become a struggle. The intense competition for qualified specialists is exacerbated by demographic change and shifting values among younger people. According to a study by the German Economic Institute (IW) (source: Fachinformationsportal wirtschaftswissen.de, January 7, 2025),almost 540,000 positions were unfilled in Germany in 2023. In the IT sector, around 13,600 positions remained vacant in the previous year. These are just a few figures that illustrate the challenge facing the labor market. 

The “war for talent” is forcing companies to offer more than just good salaries. Especially in the high-tech industry, where specialized tasks require special expertise, many are asking themselves: How can we not only attract the best talent, but also retain it?

The answer is closer than you might think – namely, in the workplace. While health programs and continuing education are often the focus, true innovation leaders focus on the details: workplace equipment. And a well-designed chair plays a surprisingly important role in this.

Benefits that work

What makes a company truly attractive to talented individuals? Flexibility, security, and opportunities for advancement are important, of course. But everyday life matters just as much. A workplace that conveys comfort and appreciation is one that sticks in the memory.

In sensitive environments such as clean rooms, laboratories, or ESD areas, the demands on functionality and hygiene are particularly high. Those who strike the right balance between efficiency and employee well-being will come out on top. A highly specialized work chair that not only makes the job easier but also protects health is more than just a practical piece of furniture—it becomes a benefit that really makes a difference.

Ergonomics, not just comfort

An ergonomic chair may seem inconspicuous, but its influence is enormous. Back and neck pain from sitting for long periods? Absenteeism due to health problems? Such challenges can be overcome with an ergonomically optimized workplace. Studies show that ergonomic seating solutions not only increase satisfaction, but also demonstrably increase productivity – in some cases by up to 17.5%.

The Bimos TEXON shows how it's done: its Auto-Motion technology promotes dynamic sitting and protects the spine. The Flexback, the iconic X-element in the backrest, offers even more freedom of movement, while individually adjustable functions such as 4D armrests allow perfect adaptation to the user's needs. Ergonomics here means more than just comfort – it is a performance booster for everyday work.

Design that boosts self-confidence

A cleanroom may be sterile and technical, but this is precisely where TEXON adds visual accents. Its design was developed by the renowned Phoenix agency and has already won the Red Dot Award. The clean lines and seamless surfaces meet the highest hygiene standards, while the modern design language conveys warmth and approachability.

This makes the chair not only a functional element, but also enhances the entire working environment. Especially in industries where precision and cleanliness are crucial, TEXON shows that aesthetics and performance can go hand in hand.

More than a chair – a statement

With the TEXON from Bimos, the work chair becomes a sign of appreciation. Developed for clean rooms, laboratories, and ESD areas, it sets standards in ergonomics, hygiene, and design. The robust, easy-to-clean construction withstands the demands of the most challenging environments. At the same time, the thick padding ensures long-lasting comfort – even on challenging days.

Companies that invest in high-quality seating solutions send a clear message: the health and well-being of their employees are more than just words. At a time when the “war for talent” is raging, a chair like the TEXON becomes an invisible but powerful argument – every day it is used.
