New Sit and Stand Adjustable Height Desks
Sit and stand desks are more than just the latest office fad. According to Time Magazine, research has shown that being seated for eight or more hours a day dramatically increases your risk of developing lifestyle diseases like diabetes.
That’s eight hours a day in total – irrespective of whether that’s time behind a desk or time at home on the sofa. Lately, a trend to work while standing instead of sitting has taken off. And, to be fair, it’s not the worst thing in the world.
As anyone who’s ever had to spend a full shift on their feet will tell you, it’s also extremely difficult to pull off. That’s why the range of sit and stand desks that we offer are the perfect way to take advantage of this trend.
Your employees can stand for as long as they like. When they are feeling tired, a few simple adjustments will convert the desk back to a standard seated desk. Your employees get the best of both worlds – extra exercise and some comfort.
It also enables them to build up their stamina in easy steps. Maybe today they can only handle being on their feet for an hour. Next week, they’ll manage more.
The real advantage of doing things this way, though, is that your staff get a safe way to try out the idea and get used to it. Imagine if you went to the office tomorrow and made all your staff stand “for their health.”
Even though your intentions were good, how many of them would actually buy into it? By the time they left with aching feet, they’d be plotting your overthrow. Ease into the program with these models. Let them get a taste for the benefits in their own time. That way, they’ll be more likely to accept the change.
