From treadmill desks to sit-stand ones, these workspace design trends are impacting employee wellness.
It’s no secret that sitting for long periods of time, in poor postures with limited movement, can impact our health. Not long ago, the phrase — sitting is killing you — made headlines. Companies responded. Offices were revamped. Human factors and ergonomics were utilized.
As a result, employee comfort and productivity levels were put center stage. From rethinking the desk to reconfiguring work areas to offering opportunities to stand, walk and reconnect with nature. But not all workspaces and office desks are created equal. Cutting-edge design and innovative workstations have allowed companies to adapt to employee needs. Sleek, ergonomic chairs and adjustable height desks provide an easy solution to comfort. Treadmill workstations amp up the mobility game. Wireless desks offer a clutter-free environment for unencumbered creativity. Workstations equipped with charging panels and outlets give the laptop-toting mobile worker the freedom to roam and plugin from wherever they’d like.

When it comes to workplace technology, occupancy sensors are a game-changer when it comes to enhancing productivity in the workplace. These sensors are designed to detect the presence of people in a room and automatically adjust lighting, temperature, and other environmental factors accordingly. By eliminating the need for manual adjustments, occupancy sensors save time and energy for employees, allowing them to focus on their work without distractions. Additionally, these sensors can also help optimize space utilization by identifying areas that are underutilized and reallocating resources accordingly. This not only improves efficiency but also creates a more comfortable and productive work environment. Overall, occupancy sensors are a simple yet effective tool that can greatly enhance productivity in the workplace.
These flexible work solutions are becoming the norm in commercial workspace design for one simple reason: they increase employee health and wellness which impacts productivity which impacts overall company performance.
