45 minutes doesn’t sound like much.
But stretched across an entire working year, it adds up to almost a full extra month – packed with time for fresh ideas, more successful projects and better decisions.
How is that possible? We’ll show you.
Focus, innovation and well-being are no longer just nice-to-haves – they’re essential success factors.
As a furniture manufacturer that’s been actively shaping New Work for years, we at neudoerfler see every day how smart office design can significantly boost productivity.
One of the most effective tools? Height-adjustable desks.
And it’s not just a gut feeling:
Research suggests that sit-stand workstations can boost daily productivity by up to 45 minutes.
Height-adjustable desks as office gamechangers.
Most people know that standing occasionally is good for your health.
But how directly it impacts performance – even seasoned leaders find that surprising.
A study from Texas A&M University revealed:
After six months, employees using sit-stand desks completed 46% more tasks per hour than their seated colleagues.
Another long-term study echoed this finding:
65% of participants reported noticeable improvements in productivity and concentration thanks to regularly alternating between sitting and standing.
It’s not about working “more hours” –
it’s about thinking more clearly, making quicker decisions and staying consistently effective throughout the day.
What sit-stand desks can do.
For companies focused on long-term success, height-adjustable desks offer a host of benefits:
- More energy throughout the day: Changing posture regularly helps prevent the dreaded afternoon slump.
- Fewer physical complaints: Less strain on the back, neck and shoulders – a clear win for employee retention.
- Sharper thinking, better performance: Improved alertness leads to more efficient meetings and more creative outcomes.
- Happier employees: Ergonomic workplaces show appreciation – a crucial factor in today’s war for talent.
- Cost-efficiency in the long run: Fewer sick days, increased efficiency and a more motivated team pay off.
Conclusion: Small movement, big impact.
Today, productivity isn’t about working longer – it’s about working smarter.
A modern workplace empowers people to perform at their best – and that’s exactly where neudoerfler’s sit-stand desks come in.
Here’s what we believe:
Investing in ergonomic flexibility is an investment in long-term business success.
