Whether you are working from home or going to the office, one thing that most of us are looking for in a work environment is comfort. Working in an uncomfortable environment not only interferes with production but also has a great toll on one's mental and physical health.
Luckily, achieving comfort in a workspace has become easy due to the invention of adjustable standing desks. With these types of desks, like the mercurial L-shaped desk with storage, you can easily switch from sitting to standing throughout the workday. This has greatly impacted the performance and output of employees in the workplace. Let's discuss some of the ways standing desks have led to better work habits.
How Standing Desks Have Impacted the Work Environment
Sitting is the most common working position that most of us have become accustomed to over the years. In as much as it still works for us and we still manage to work and achieve targets, have you ever thought about the long-term harm of sitting at a desk the whole day? First, let us have a look at some of the adverse effects of sitting for extended periods of time.
Sitting for long hours has been linked to a high rising number of obesity cases. Being immobile for too long means that the body is not burning enough calories.
Additionally, one can also experience health issues like high blood pressure and heart disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. You can also suffer from diabetes mostly as a result of obesity.
Too much sitting could also affect your brain and cause dementia. This will not only have an effect on your health but will also greatly interfere with your work.
One can also suffer from strokes which affect your general well-being.
Sitting on your own for too long can also cause social anxiety. Lack of socialization among employees affects communication which is a hindrance to growth.
Your body posture is also affected and you might also suffer from back and leg pains. Some people develop varicose veins as blood tends to pool in their legs when they sit for too long.
Your risk of developing colon, lung, or endometrial cancer also goes up greatly. You can also suffer from breast cancer.
You are more likely to get bored more easily and this can interfere with your mood and focus. Lack of focus affects your work and some people are unable to achieve their daily targets.
With all these in mind, it is evident that too much sitting not only affects your health but also greatly impacts your work hence interfering with your productivity. However, keep in mind that you can still develop some of these health problems even if you do not sit for too long. So how can using the office L-shaped desk help to combat these? Let's discuss.
Standing improves your focus and helps to boost your mood making you more active and you actually achieve more work targets.
You also get to fight the constant back pains which means that you can focus on your work and not the pain.
As we have already mentioned, immobility causes many health problems which lead to too many sick days hence less work is done. You do not have to worry about this with a standing desk.
Standing also gives a jolt of brainpower which goes a long way to help with your work. This is due to the fact that you are active and you can easily move around while standing as opposed to when you are sitting.
In an office environment, standing also makes it easier for employees to socialize which fosters a healthy working relationship and improves the company’s productivity.
It is now clear that standing desks are your go-to if you want to improve your health and also increase your work output. A healthy employee will definitely contribute more to the organization as opposed to one who has constant health issues. However, remember to do it in moderation especially in the beginning before your body gets accustomed to standing. Create a balance between sitting and standing to obtain a perfect work schedule that works for you.
