As the return to offices gathers momentum, employers are looking towards creating healthier environments for their staff. That includes being active when working at a desk – whether it’s in the office or at home.  Sit-stand solutions (such as height-adjustable desks and desk converters) offer 4 key benefits:

1. A healthy body contributes to a healthy mind and vice versa. The benefits of each are no longer seen in isolation. Using standing desks has been shown to significantly lift the mood and increase energy levels.
2. A standing desk can also help shrink waistlines. Simply by standing up to complete an afternoon’s work, an individual can burn around 170 more calories than if they were sitting. During a working week, that adds up to 850 calories, which ultimately is good news for anyone with one eye on the bathroom scales.
3. Standing lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart disease, by drastically cutting the amount of time spent in the sedentary sitting position.
4. Back pain can be debilitating and depressing. It can also lead to absenteeism and compromised productivity across your team. Studies have shown that using a standing desk can have extremely positive effects on both upper and lower back pain.
