SIT-STAND
The Best Ways to
Improve Posture
and Wellbeing in Your Office
In order to get the best out of your office and your
own productivity (as well as that of your employees)
you need to consider ergonomics. The importance of
a good chair and desk should not be underestimated.
A sit/stand desk is a modern and stylish way of making your office more
posture friendly. They break up the monotony caused by prolonged sitting
as well as reducing any subsequent aches and pains. Actively swapping
between sitting and standing increases blood flow which contributes to
increased energy, reduced stress levels, and it also burns more calories.
A few years ago, the idea of a sit/stand would have probably sent shivers down the spine when thinking about their cost, but now they
are completely affordable and can even be customised to suit the style of your office or to better fit your budget.
In order to fully reap the benefits of ergonomic furniture,
you will need to pair your sit/stand desks with suitable chairs.
Having a chair that can adapt to each employee’s individual
frame is what you should aim for. This winning combination
should mean that back and neck complaints will become a
thing of the past, and both you and your workforce will be
able to focus more effectively.
If, however, you cannot afford to buy an ergonomic chair and
a sit/stand desk, then a good substitute would be to buy a
lumbar support that can be placed on any office chair. An
adjustable foot rest will provide additional support as well –
add both the lumbar support and the footrest to your sit/stand
desk and chair combo for a complete ergonomic office.
