You may have heard this term lately, 'Sitting is the new smoking', sitting a lot and for a long time is bad for your health and increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As Dutch people, we spend an average of 7.4 hours a day on our office chair, unlike other Europeans who sit 5.4 hours a day.
Even if you exercise regularly, you cannot avoid the dangers of sitting a lot.
Get your employees moving, sit - stand desks can help you with this:
Sit-stand workstations and aids that are effective
With sit-stand workstations you can combine working and staying active. Stop sitting for a while and adjust your sit-stand desk to the height for standing work. Sit-stand workstations are available in single workstations and duo workstations (the tops are separately adjustable). Various height adjustment options are also available, for example, an electrically adjustable sit-stand workplace allows you to quickly and easily move your desk to the desired height and you can quickly alternate between sitting or standing work.
The advantages of a sit-stand workplace are that the user moves more and therefore makes varied movements. After longer use, the efficiency and productivity of employees will certainly increase. Your company will also experience less absenteeism due to illness in the longer term.
An alternative to the office chair is, for example, the office bicycle, active and productive at the same time. With the office bicycle you can sit, work and cycle during your work. The effort of cycling keeps your body and brain active.
With a sit-stand chair or sit-stand stool you will be in balance for a long time due to the ergonomic seat and you can alternate between sitting and standing. When you work standing, it puts a strain on your legs and back. A standing aid provides support when standing, so that your back and leg muscles can relax more.
