People across the globe are sitting too much. All of this sedentary behaviour is having an impact on employee and organisational health and productivity.
Ergotron are looking at the way we work and supporting us to move more, and work better!
Whether you are working from home, or back in the office, make sure you are moving and have the perfect desk set up.
Did you know?
Using a standing desk has been shown to INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY BY 46%
To relieve discomfort, 58 percent of employees are taking two to five breaks a day, and another 25 percent are taking more than six breaks a day. When interrupted, it can take a worker more than 20 minutes to get back on task.
Adopting a movement mindset is easier with the right tools. Ergotron’s professional-grade movement solutions are designed to create home workspaces that offer freedom to move, choice and autonomy. Are you ready to make your move? Read on:
Ergotron’s 5 top tips to add movement during your working day, whether that’s from home, or in the office:
Set a timer – Prevent the all-day sit fest and follow the Sit-StandSwitch™ by alternating between sitting and standing every 30 minutes.
Get some fresh air – Enjoy the outdoors while getting your steps in by taking a short walk outside. Block a half-hour meeting on your calendar to walk your dog or make a loop around the block.
Build an ergonomic workspace – Invest in a professional grade, height-adjustable workstation. Add a flexible monitor arm and consider a second or third screen for a productivity boost.
Find new ways to exercise – Search online for free resources tailored for at-home workouts or incorporate simple exercises to sharpen your focus as you stretch your muscles.
Have a standing meeting – Make the most of your meeting time by standing. Take a lap around your house or head outside to increase your blood flow and circulation for a natural jolt of energy.
78% of participants using the sit-stand workstations reported a pain-free day by the conclusion of a recent study by Stanford University*
