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.
