Why standing work is the future

Invest in the well-being of your employees
The recently published Stand Up to Work study has shown that height-adjustable desks improve productivity, concentration, and overall health. So, investing in a height-adjustable desk is a smart move. But what does it entail?

Standing work – a boost for productivity & job satisfaction

Standing work is the new norm, and for good reason. In this year-long study, researchers gained valuable insights into how standing work truly affects our bodies and minds. It’s no surprise that it leads to better job performance.

Healthy employees are happier, more productive, and more engaged with their work. And that’s good for your business or organization. However, if you want to promote standing work, you need to make the right investment.

 

Why invest in height-adjustable desks?

What used to be something for people with severe back issues or ergonomics enthusiasts has now become the standard when redesigning offices. Here are three key benefits from the Stand Up to Work study.

1. You increase productivity
65% of users of height-adjustable desks reported increased productivity after a year. They also reported better concentration and more energy. This directly translates to improved performance in the workplace.

2. You reduce physical discomfort
47% of users of height-adjustable desks reported a significant reduction in discomfort in their upper back, shoulders, or neck. This contributes to reduced absenteeism and increased employee satisfaction.

3. You benefit beyond working hours
65% of participants said that height-adjustable workstations positively impacted their health outside of work. This means the benefits extend into your employees’ personal lives, contributing to a better work-life balance.

The well-being of your employees directly impacts the health of your organization. Happy and healthy employees are more productive, less frequently absent, and more engaged with their work. By investing in height-adjustable desks, you create a work environment that promotes movement and flexibility, essential for the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of your employees.

 

How to choose the right height-adjustable desks
