Sit-to-stand workstations are a great way to support increased activity for people in sedentary roles.
A trial at Alfred Health found that these workstations reduced average sitting time from 91% to 54%, with 99% of staff involved saying they would recommend sit-to-stand workstations to colleagues.
Strong user acceptance and continued interest has resulted in more than 750 sit-to-stand workstations being rolled out across the organisation
Long term users of the workstations believe they offer benefits including:
- improved health and wellbeing
- greater concentration or focus
- greater productivity
- reduced pain and discomfort
- reduced fatigue
The trial found that those who stood more benefited more.
Alfred Health is now encouraging other organisations to incorporate a range of sit-to-stand solutions within the workplace to deliver long term benefits.
