Ergonomic Desks Promote Workplace Wellness

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has recognized the importance of workplace wellness and is now going to great lengths to help support the practice. This includes a number of grants for businesses that offer workforce health programs that promote healthy behaviors. It has been shown that ergonomic desks such as the line of desks we offer by Stratis Industries can lead to an enhanced sense of workplace wellness. Therefore, with the approximately $1,685 spent per employee, annually, on productivity losses related to personal and family health problems by United States employers, we make it our recommendation to support workplace wellness in any way you can.

Workplace Wellness is on the Rise

Maintaining good health is not achievable by individual acts alone. Rather, it is an ongoing process that emphasizes being proactive, addressing issues when they are presented, and going through with the proper forms of follow up care. From an office equipment perspective, using ergonomic desks is a great way to be proactive when it comes to the health and well-being of your employees. Hours on hours spent working at a desk that isn’t the right height or is awkward to use can not only exacerbate musculoskeletal issues associated with the postures you exhibit at your desk, but can even create them. In last week’s blog, we talked about some of the details of the ergonomic desks by Stratis Industries offered here at Rackfinity. One of the key advantages of their line of desks is the fact that they have an industry leading height adjustability system. A quiet, low-surge electric motor is conveniently hidden in one of the three table legs, which moves the desk up and down slowly and smoothly. This is a great way to offer desk space to a variety of individuals for dynamic work environments: when an employee comes to work at a desk in a certain area, they can easily adjust it to the height that is optimal for their comfort and ultimately their health.

Although the grants from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services are only attainable if full scale health programs are implemented by your company, having an ergonomic workplace is a good place to start and most definitely helps to achieve the same ends.
