Mission Statement

Workplace Essentials is the one stop shop for office furnishings, equipment and service for anyone who wants business done their way.

Serving all of Nova Scotia

Our customers value Workplace Essentials as a full-service boutique for office furniture and equipment. We serve clientele all over Nova Scotia and our presence is felt in the hospitality, health care, office and institutional fields. Our team has expertise in all of these areas and our staff provides a large technical representation for all of our products and services. Our technicians, who service any piece of equipment we sell, are located all over the province and are reliable and knowledgeable as they provide prompt and efficient customer service. The Workplace Essentials team doesn't only deal with office equipment and furniture, our staff are also experts in providing total and custom document solutions, which can help a company of any size substantially reduce their costs and provide benefits for administration. 

Customer Focus

At its very core, Workplace Essentials is about one thing – the customer. While many of our competitors are shareholder-driven and focused on expanding their stores and bottom-line profits, Workplace Essentials is a family-owned, customer-driven business, providing a consultative, customer-focused approach with solutions tailored specifically to the customer’s needs - so that they can meet their bottom lines. The key to customer focus is flexibility and choice - from consultation, to products and sales, delivery, timeframes and options for billing and services – all when and where you need it. The result? Our customers get exactly what they need for the price they can afford. Customer focus dictates how Workplace Essentials operates and continues to grow and serve our customers. While larger competitors continue to reduce staff and services, we are constantly strengthening our business infrastructure in order to better serve our customers. The customer is our bottom line.
