We recently featured an article about the dangers of sitting at work all day, every day and thought you might be interested in seeing some office furniture alternatives that accommodate both preferences.
When an organization is designing an office space there are many parameters that need to be considered without adding in the variable of personal preference. But what do you do if you’re the sort of organization that wants to attract top flight staff and keep them happy and healthy?
Some organizations offer financial incentives. Some offer incentives such as daycare for employee’s children or on site gyms. Some are more concerned with health and offer incentives for evidence of healthy living choices.
But the latest trend is offering ergonomically correct and environmentally sustainable work space furniture. After all, you spend most of your work day working, right? So it makes sense to be able to work in a space that’s designed to give the best support in terms of your health.
One of the ways that popular manufacturer Allsteel has dealt with this is to design furniture that’s easily adjustable to suit your preference. Want to stand at work? No problem. Want to sit? It does that too. Want to both sit and stand? You can do both in the same office with the same furniture.
According to Allsteel:
Allsteel’s sit-to-stand worksurface accommodates the individual, not to mention your bottom line.
Allsteel’s sit-to-stand worksurface provides the perfect combination of sleek styling and user-controlled functionality. It can be installed at any height on the panel and adjusts as easily as a keyboard tray within a 14″ range. The innovative design mounts directly to the panel, eliminating the need for an obtrusive base. A simple paddle adjusts the mechanism, without the use of power.
Your decision to select a height-adjustable worksurface is about more than just accommodating the individual. It’s a choice that can affect health, safety, and productivity, and especially make a difference to your bottom line.
In fact, user-adjustable furniture results in lower total cost of ownership over time: adjustable ergonomic furniture, coupled with user training, results in an average decrease of 80% on cost-per-workers’ compensation claims and a decrease of 60% in the number of claims.

Allsteel’s sit-to-stand worksurface offers the best ergonomic benefits for your employees. Plus, it works harder for you, supporting telecommuters and multi-shift use. It’s the perfect way to increase worker satisfaction and productivity.
Which just goes to show that when it comes to working, working smart definitely pays off!
