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.
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 programs 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.
