Increase Productivity
Studies have shown that workers take shorter and fewer breaks away from their workstations when using sit and stand desks. Further, they are much less likely to be affected by the end of the day fatigue that is associated with drops in productivity. Employees who get exercise during the day are not only happier and healthier, they are more productive too. A recent workplace study pointed out that exercise during the workday has a perceived impact on an employee’s frame of mind and ability to stay focused. (13)
Accommodate Diversity
Adjustable desks allow companies to easily fit the workspace to a variety of people including those in the 5th and 95th percentile and those with disabilities and back problems.
Real Estate Optimization
Make the most of your space. Adjustable desks are ideal for "hoteling" (unassigned work areas), desk sharing/multi-shift, and revolving work forces. Also, free up overbooked meeting rooms by scheduling stand up at desk meetings.
Reduce MSD Injuries and Claims
Fitting the workstation to your individual needs can reduce the causes of work related stress. Alternate between sitting and standing and reduce these risks much further by avoiding problems caused by static postures.
Return on Investment
Employers investing in electric sit-stand desks are reaping big returns. Employees are happier, healthier and more productive which translates into cost savings and an improved working environment.
