Standing desk – indispensable

There are many things an employer / employee can do to create a more pleasant working environment. A standing desk is one of the best ways to support employee health and wellbeing in the workplace. In my opinion, it is absolutely key for a good work environment, particularly if you work mostly in a sitting position at a desk. Although there may be some debate about the exact health benefits, I believe that regular use of a standing desk definitely has a positive impact on overall health and productivity.

For me, the main benefits of a standing desk are the following:

• Opens up the whole body and improves posture.
• Helps strengthen particularly core, leg (especially anterior and posterior thigh muscles), ankle and foot muscles.
• Reduces back pain.
• Helps with wrist position.
• Keeps circulation going.
• Boosts focus and mood.
• Incentivizes other movements and provides help for full body rotation.

If you are thinking of making a change in the office, good standing desks are a simple way forward! For me, a standing desk is one of the key tools – indispensable!
