In line with its commitment to creating healthier environements for the workers, Humanscale recently took part in a research project – Wellness Together (*1)  which provides evidence of a strong correlation between productivity, creativity and even profitability with employee working conditions, such as: light, air, noise, health, culture, design, movemen  and the quality of furniture.

Specifically the research identified movement as a dominant factor within the three key metrics of Productivity, Profitability and Innovation/Creativity, out of the ten strongest factors influencing better performance on two characteristics were shared by all three:

  • Flexibility to reconfigure space
  • Healthy posture promoting workstations

4 out of 9 of the top characteristics that potentially impact upon profitability are related to movement. Essentially businesses with these characteristics have a higher gross profit, the extent of which (uplift) is presented here:

  • Having sit/stand or high level desks – 37%
  • Workstations that encourage movement – 25%
  • Employees given the choice to sit or stand at work – 25%
  • Employees allowed to swap from sitting to standing and vice versa – 24%

We look forward to seeing you at the show on Stand E61.
