The benefits of standing at work are heavily reported in the media and are often covered by numerous myths and fiction. We aim to share some real results, so you can see exactly what a standing desk can do for you. </p>
<p>Research shows that changing the office dynamic and using a standing desk can increase productivity in the work place by up to 46%. The study was conducted over a six-month period among 2 groups of workers in a call centre, results were measured by how many successful calls were completed each hour. </p>
<p>While results show that the increase in productivity didn’t differentiate within the first month of the study, once workers had become comfortable with their surroundings, increase in performance blossomed, highlighting the benefits a standing. Gregory Garrett M.A, a public health doctoral student and head author of the study, explains: <i>“Starting with the second month, we began to see larger increases in productivity with the stand-capable groups as they became habituated to their standing desks.”</i> As results show that using a standing desk is unlikely to see improvements over night, it is important to stick with it and experience the long term benefits a standing desk can offer. </p>
<p>Mark Benden who conducted the study, had this to say: <i>“We hope this work will show companies that although there might be some costs involved in providing stand-capable workstations, increased employee productivity over time will more than offset these initial expenses.”</i> Mark Benden, Ph.D, C.P.E is an associate professor at the Texas A&#038;M School of Public Health, director of the Texas A&#038;M Ergonomics Center and a member of the Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems.</p>

<p>In an alternative study, a group of 10 office workers used a standing desk for 180 minutes after lunch and found this reduced blood sugar spikes by 43% in comparison to sitting for the same amount of time. The same study results also showed that alternating between sitting and standing every 30 minutes throughout the day reduced blood sugar spikes by 11.1%. Sitting for longer amounts of time also contributes towards a greater risk of developing heart disease. A study found that jobs such as bus conductors who stand all day had half the risk of heart disease, compared to their colleagues in the driver seats, showing the benefits of standing more at work.</p>
<p>Another study also found that using a standing desk effectively increases mood and energy levels, while stress levels reduce and signs of fatigue decrease throughout the day. Keeping that positive attitude alive and thriving couldn’t be easier with a standing desk. The desks help to promote a more positive working environment for all in the office, with fresh thinking and new ideas. </p>
<p>Research has also shown that using a standing desk can help decrease body discomfort caused by prolonged sitting, by more than 75%. It’s time to take note and listen to the facts.
