The Society for Human Resource Management states in its report that permanent offices are gaining increasing demand in American business companies with their proven benefits to increase employee productivity. Simply put, recent research results have unequivocally shown that the more time we spend sitting, the more physical complications we are likely to experience. Unfortunately, even regular exercise, vigorous morning work, or participation in the gym cannot balance the degree of health loss from the extra hours of sitting each day.
Research results show that while working continuously for almost 8 hours in a seated position, which is a very common scene in the workplace, you are essentially limiting circulation, not only reducing mobility and flexibility, but also it also lowers your level of energy and creativity. The body’s natural instincts to move help pump blood, keeping muscles optimally active and activated. You may have noticed, just walking a few minutes, how much your focusing power increases by reducing lag and helping you complete the remaining tasks efficiently and productively. So, consider using the great flexibility and amazing features of sit stand desks to increase employee productivity.
Improve focus
Posture naturally promotes a sense of drive, urgency, and energy; while sitting, especially when it is constant, leads to laziness and distraction, as well as causing physical discomfort such as sack pain. Relaxation mode isn’t ideal at work and employees often find themselves engrossed in checking personal email, replying, or even loitering on social platforms that are hurting performance.
Energy boost
Perhaps the best feature of sit stand desks is their flexibility in expanding users’ options for sitting or standing. Unlike standing desks only, with height, automatic and adjustable sit stand desks at BFX Furniture help employees to change their working posture based on personal physical activity and health status and thus stability and increased energy level. With a change in position, where you can work more creatively and concentrated, you can also avoid back pain from sitting or prolonged straining of the legs that leads to dilation of the veins.
Healthier employees
By avoiding long-term sitting in the workplace now, your employees can effectively stay away from common back pain, headaches, obesity, or potentially fatal heart conditions. Research results show that people who work standing up or switch positions between standing and sitting have a 33% lower risk of premature death from heart attack, colon and breast cancer, diabetes, etc. Increasing your heart rate while standing allows you to burn fat by approximately 30,000 calories a year. The ultimate well-being of your employees, who are the most important resource for your business, generally increases work efficiency and productivity.
Increase team spirit
While working on their feet, project leaders have more flexibility to work with their team and partners while walking on the floor. This fosters a distinctive type of team spirit, collaborative environment, and interactive work culture that has a positive impact on productivity.
