More often than not, office workers will spend the majority of their working day sitting behind a desk in an office chair. It’s simply the nature of the job. However there is growing scientific evidence which shows that extended periods of inactivity during our working hours can have an effect on both our mental and physical health.
The good news is that we offer office furniture that can help you become more active during your working day. For example, height adjustable desks are becoming increasingly popular due to the numerous benefits they provide compared to traditional desks.
Also known as sit stand desks, these allow you to work effectively from both an upright and seated position.
Benefits of Active Working
- Greater concentration
- Higher levels of productivity
- Improved blood circulation
- Relief from muscle ache caused by static posture
- Flexibility to adjust your working position to the task at hand
- Burn more calories
Employers have a responsibility to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their staff. It’s important to give employees the opportunity to be more active during their working day and also give them any necessary equipment required.
This also applies to those that work from home and are looking at ways to become fitter, healthier and more productive.
At ORS UK, we believe our height adjustable desks are the ideal solution for active working. Our innovative workstations help encourage activity while you work, giving you the choice of standing or sitting for certain periods of time. Browse our full range today!
