5 Ways a Height Adjustable Desk Can Help Your Workforce
Over the last few years, the increased availability of a height adjustable office desks have made them a reality for most, but you may still be wondering what all the hype is about.
There are many benefits to using an adjustable height desk, from improved posture to decreased stress and increased productivity. If you're still on the fence about whether or not to invest in one of these desks, take a look below at our top 5 reasons to upgrade your office desks;
1) Improved Posture
When it comes to sitting down at work, most tend to slouch over their desks with poor posture. This is usually due to a lack of proper support for your back when sitting. An adjustable height desk can help with this problem, by allowing you to raise your desk up so that you are sitting upright, which will in turn improve your overall back health.
In addition, the availability to stand while working at their desk can allow staff that suffer from back issues to stand and relieve the stress on their backs throughout the day.
2) Decreased Stress
Another major benefit of using a height adjustable desk is the ability to adjust the angle of your keyboard and mouse so that they are at a 90-degree angle from each other when you sit down at work. This will allow for less stress on your wrists and hands, making it much more comfortable to type and use your computers mouse.
3) Increased Productivity
You may have heard the saying: "The best work is done from a standing position." Well, that's not necessarily true. It all depends on what kind of tasks you perform at work and how comfortable you are sitting or standing for extended periods of time. An adjustable height desk allows you to switch between standing, sitting and leaning over (for example working on a project with your hands). This means that you can be more productive by varying your work style throughout your day, depending on the specific task you are doing.
4) No Additional Purchases Needed
A common misconception is there will be further costs, as you will need to buy a whole set of accessories such as a chair, monitor or keyboard stand specific to a heigh adjustable desk.
While this may be true for some, most adjustable height desks are designed to work with any standard office equipment that you might already have. You can purchase additional accessories if needed, but in most cases it’s not necessary (in most cases a longer wire would do the trick).
5) Won’t Break the Bank
If you are looking for a new desk, a height adjustable may not have even crossed your mind, and that is probably due to the worry of cost. These desks have become increasingly more available, at a much lower price, falling around 90% in cost in over the last 5 years. With this price decrease, there are now so many more affordable options, opening up variables such as materials and further accessory options, like built in USB ports.
With the above reasons in mind, our clients are becoming more open to purchasing height adjustable desks, improving their workforce’s overall health and wellbeing, along with increased productivity and many more benefits.
