According to recent studies Scientists claim that you could extend your life expectancy by up to 2 years simply by not sitting down for hours on end. They have discovered that adults who are only seated for a maximum of three hours a day typically live an extra two years. Such findings will of course interest or concern office workers who spend much of their day sat at their desks.

Some of the sensible advice from the Chief Medical Officer and the British Heart Foundation includes workers taking the stairs rather than a lift at work, walking over to speak to colleagues and standing when taking phone calls.

For employers who may be planning an office refurbishment, office refit or buying new office furniture it is worth considering how to make employees less desk-bound.  From Sit-Stand height adjustable desks in offices and meeting rooms to break-out areas that encourage movement and interaction, there are many options.

With greater focus on ergonomic work spaces in recent years this is the next step in creating a healthy and positive working environment for employees. If you would like to discuss Office Furniture, Space Planning or any other office fit and refurbishment needs please give us a call on 08456 031585.
