Benefits of moving

Using LINAK lifting columns and linear actuator systems brings numerous benefits when integrated with adjustable office desks, industrial and technical workstations, and kitchens.

Benefits Tech and Trends

It is difficult to accommodate a diverse workforce with a standard “one size fits all” desk. Adjustable desks give users the option to choose a working position that is best suited to their body. This helps eliminate discomfort caused by a “desk that does not fit” - insufficient leg space and keyboards/monitors that are in a position that is too high for the user.

 

Increase the productivity of your staff

People need to get out of their chair and move at least five minutes per hour. Micro-breaks reduce fatigue. Many employees do not have the flexibility to get away from their workstations every hour. Using a sit-stand desk allows employees to take a break from their static posture without leaving their area.

 

Create flexible workstations

Electric adjustable desks allow users to comfortably and quickly adjust to the task at hand by the touch of a button. For instance, if a colleague or a customer drops by, it is no problem... you can adjust the desk to a group working level and meet in comfort. As an added bonus, when you stand you can keep meetings and "on the fly" interruptions shorter.

 

Improve employee health and wellbeing

Studies have shown that alternating between sitting and standing results in less discomfort and reduces the amount of fatigue many people feel at the end of the workday.

Workplace physical activity programmes have also been shown to reduce sick days by up to 32 percent (source: James A Levine, MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic and Selene Yeager).

A study from the Mayo Clinic shows you can burn an additional 340 calories a day if you spend two hours of your workday standing instead of sitting.

 

Prevent injuries

Fitting the workstation to your individual needs can reduce the causes of work-related stress. Alternating between sitting and standing and reduces these risks much further by avoiding problems caused by static posture or positions.
