A modern, clean and up-to-date working environment is now, more than ever, an integral piece in recruiting and keeping talent.
 
In a Cornell study of height adjustable desks, there was almost a unanimous preference among participants for EHAW (electric height adjustable workstations), with three participants refusing to relinquish their EHAW during the study. 
 
According to one participant, “It definitely changed the way I work.”
 
This agrees with studies at both Curtin Australia and Miami Universities. In each of these studies, participants overwhelmingly chose alternating between sit and stand as the preferred posture.
 
In the Miami University (Ohio) study, there was strong evidence that intermittent standing increases productivity with fewer and shorter breaks throughout the day.

Participants who did not alter their positions (non-standers) took
an average of 47% more work breaks plus, the work break was
56% longer.

This study is consistent with other research including the Cornell University study where participants reported improvements in their personal work productivity.
