What Are Active Office Workstations?



 
Office cubicle systems and modern office workstations have changed a lot from their predecessors of the 60s and 70s, with an increasing sense of style, collaboration, and employee wellness over saving space. The latest in this office wellness offering is the active workstation. Here’s what it’s all about, from our NJ commercial office furniture team.

What Is an Active Office Workstation?

This is a category that includes commercial office furniture that is designed to support healthy activity and wellness in the office. This includes treadmill desks, sit-stand desks, ergonomic workstations, and ergonomic chairs.

The Importance of Employee Wellness

Employee wellness is a huge trend right now, and it’s easy to see why. When employees are healthy and comfortable, absenteeism due to illness and injury decreases, engagement and productivity increases, and employees feel more valued by the organization.

Of course, active workstations are just one part of a comprehensive employee wellness program, which can include everything from healthy snacks and meals to company fitness programs, natural lighting, relaxation spaces, and healthcare programs. However, because we spend so much time sitting inactively at our desks (an average of 6.5 hours a day according to research by the National Center for Health Statistics), it’s a great place to start.

In fact, creating active workstations for your staff can have a significant and important impact on employee health. For instance, it can help to prevent many health problems related to sedentary lifestyles, which include higher risks of heart problems, certain cancers, weight gain, poor circulation, and even early death.

Including Active Office Workstations in Your Office Design

There’s a huge variety of options for active office workstations and office cubicle systems. That is why it’s important to work with your team and your office furniture partner to find products and solutions that work for individuals as well as your industry.
