How height-adjustable desks affect health 

If you opt for a height-adjustable desk in your office, it offers numerous health benefits and has a very positive impact on your daily work life. In many offices in Germany, height-adjustable desks are already standard, as many people consider this when choosing a new employer.

Working while standing offers numerous advantages, especially concerning your posture and concentration. We will now look at why this is the case. These are some of the many advantages:

• Better back posture: A height-adjustable desk allows you to adjust your working height precisely to your body size. You no longer have to lean forward or backward and always keep your back straight. You can also always set the appropriate screen height.
• Better circulation: When standing, you are always slightly in motion, which keeps your circulation going. You benefit from fewer frequent tensions and pains in your back and neck area.
• Better concentration: Better circulation also means your brain is better supplied with oxygen. This allows you to concentrate better and remain productive even on long days.
• Higher calorie consumption: Your body consumes more energy when working standing than when sitting, and you have a lower risk of obesity and diabetes.
• More motivation: Surveys and studies have shown that people who work at a height-adjustable desk are more motivated and happier at work.

These are just some of the many effects of a height-adjustable desk. There are also many other small details and the specific benefits of height-adjustable desks for businesses. We will look at these further in this article.

These are the benefits of a height-adjustable desk for businesses

Are you an entrepreneur and possibly considering purchasing height-adjustable desks for your employees? This always involves a certain financial outlay, especially for large companies, because a height-adjustable desk is always a bit more expensive than an "old-fashioned" model.

However, height-adjustable desks offer many advantages for you as a supervisor in your company, and we will look at the most important ones in the following paragraphs.

Fewer sick days due to height-adjustable desks in the company

Nearly 60 percent of all employees in Germany who work at a desk daily have suffered from back or neck pain in the last 365 days. For almost five percent of employees, this pain is even permanent. With a height-adjustable desk in the company, you can prevent this and thus reduce sick days – and often also prevent permanent absences.

The back posture at a height-adjustable desk is significantly better than if your employees are constantly sitting. In addition, better freedom of movement and improved circulation lead to less frequent tension and muscle pain. The back is always straight and the torso has to stabilize the upper body – so your employees will generally be fitter.

Improved employee productivity

If you have decided on height-adjustable desks in your company, your employees will be more productive and efficient. This is due to better circulation throughout the body, which also results in the brain being better supplied with oxygen. This way, your employees can remain productive even on long days, and fatigue and declining motivation set in later.

Moreover, studies have shown that employees who work at height-adjustable desks in the company achieve more in a day than those who sit constantly. Therefore, you too should take the step and provide these desks for all your employees.

Improvement of the company's image

"Gen Z" pays more attention than any other generation to ensuring that the workplace is healthy and as comfortable as possible. Health should under no circumstances suffer from daily, long periods of sitting, and the company must be as modern and open-minded as possible. For many applicants, height-adjustable desks in the company, as well as ergonomic furniture in general, are a must-have. 

By purchasing height-adjustable desks in your company, you can enhance your image and thus attract potential new employees and apprentices. With ergonomic seating and desks like those from Deskspace, you create a great incentive for new employees to choose your company.

Tax advantages & Conclusion on height-adjustable desks in the company

Height-adjustable desks have become increasingly affordable in recent years, and demand remains huge. Nevertheless, the devices are still somewhat more expensive than the classic desk without height adjustment. However, this also has an advantage for you as an entrepreneur: You can deduct higher operating expenses from your taxes and thus reduce your tax burden in the respective year. Also, the price difference is not so huge that the purchase would punch a hole in your budget.

As you can see, height-adjustable desks are a real must-have in your company. They not only offer benefits for employees and create incentives for new apprentices but also have a positive impact on your company and your turnover. You can save high costs through fewer sick days and also have tax advantages.
