Why You Need Adjustable Height Desks
We invite you to take a
look at our
project inspiration page as
it will give you some bright ideas and show you just how spectacular our office fit-outs are. You’ll notice plenty of stunning
designer office furniture, of course, as well as layouts that optimise the available space, maximise productivity and help to create a
harmonious working environment.
Something else you notice when you look at our past projects is the extensive use of height-adjustable desks. This is quite deliberate. We
see adjustable height desks as a must-have in today’s modern office for reasons of comfort, well-being and productivity. Ask any
physio and they’ll tell you that muscle strain, back injury and other painful issues, as well as poor posture, are common when an
employee sits at their desk for too long. They’re often hunched over their keyboard, which is not good for their spinal and neck
posture, and their general health suffers too.
While physio treatments will relieve pain – albeit temporarily – prevention is always better than the cure. That is why we
recommend that you put height-adjustable desks on your shopping list when it’s time to buy office furniture in NZ. These desks let
your employees do their work while they’re standing, with the option of sitting from time to time. The major health benefits of
working with adjustable desks include:
- Delays the onset of fatigue later in the day, which boosts productivity.
-
Reduces lower back pain, one of the most common health problems in the country and a major reason for staff taking sick
days.
- Prevents tight hips which can lead to lower back pain
- Lowers the risk of putting on weight and improves cardiovascular health as a result.
-
Helps to keep the mind alert – yet another productivity booster.
In summary, a desk that is height adjustable is a healthier desk. Research has proven that the general well-being of employees is enhanced
when they complete their tasks while standing. They are less likely to gain weight and their heart health improves. Because they’re
physically fitter, team members are mentally sharper as well, so they are not as fatigued and their thinking is clearer. Back and neck pain
is far less of an issue, which means fewer days off seeking medical treatment, and their posture is improved - and this is another crucial
element in promoting general health.
There is every reason to invest in height-adjustable desks, and no reason not to. For higher productivity and staff morale, we suggest you
put them on your office furniture shopping list and then contact us.
