RE: The dangers of sitting too much | And what to do about it
I love that more workplaces are installing the option for our desks to move up so we can work while standing. It is such a nice break from sitting a lot. I usually will stand up and stretch once per hour, but now with the standing workstations, I have not needed to.
Yes, that is great!
The focus on ergonomics is important, and more employers are aware that letting people stand while working is good for productivity as well. Free fruit at the workplace and free or partly sponsored gym membership are other measures that have proven to improve productivity and thus the bottom line:)
Yes, it’s been an amazing transformation. I think that healthier workers end up benefitting companies as well. Healthy workers don’t drain the insurance as much and tend to work more, better, and longer. Hey, works for me!
Nice!
You are absolutely right. The short terms costs for the companies are worth it for the longterm gains, it's win-win, both the workers and the owners benefit:)
