Height-Adjustable Desk

Equip height adjustable desks with a digital display that shows the height from the floor. This makes it easy for the desk user or users to identify and set their perfect individual height.

Equip the adjustable desk with a programmable hand control with pre-set heights. This facilitates easy and fast movement to the desired height. In addition, even with the standard hand control it’s possible to pre-set one maximum height (for standing) and one minimum height (for sitting). By doing so, the user can go from sitting to standing quickly without the need for fine-tuning.

Develop some healthy workplace habits in terms of how you vary between standing and sitting. For example, just before lunchtime, why not raise your desk to the standing position so that it feels natural to stand when you come back after your break? Standing up to make or take telephone calls is another great way to encourage variation. However, we recommend that you stand for no longer than 20 minutes at a time although ideally, you should aim to do this more often.

Take advantage of digital solutions. There are a lot of apps available that help you establish and maintain healthier workplace habits through simple prompts such as reminding you to change position or even take a short walk.

If you can, walk at a comfortable pace on a treadmill as you work at your desk. You could even challenge co-workers to see who covers the most distance over a day or week.
