Boosting Workplace Productivity with a Standing Desk
Standing desks have increased in popularity in recent years. The ability to stand while working proves to offer many health benefits. However, did you know it could also improve your mood and boost productivity? Research has found that being able to stand at your desk or alternate between sitting and standing during the day does not hinder productivity or cause distraction. In fact, it boosts productivity and offers a plethora of work-enhancing qualities.
Improve Your Mood and Energy Levels
The ability to stand and add some movement to one’s workday provides several mood-enhancing benefits. Rather than sitting stationary, hunched over a desk all day, you can move, stretch, and regroup while still completing your work. Increased movement throughout the day limits fatigue and increases overall mood. Your mood is directly correlated with your mental health. Too much downtime or lack of movement is shown to link to an increased risk of depression and anxiety.
Amplify Productivity with a Standing Desk
Standing while completing your desk tasks takes time get the hang of, but once you do, results show that it impacts how productive you are during your workday. Standing and being able to move freely rather than sitting uncomfortably, leaning over your keyboard offers an improved mood and more energy. Both of these contribute to boosting productivity in the workplace. Prolonged seating can be linked to health risks like heart disease and diabetes. Standing desks directly combat those risks and add the added benefit of being able to accomplish more throughout your workday while remaining full of energy and in a happy mood.
