Why Height-Adjustable Desks Belong on Your Office Amenities List

Back to All Posts

The modern workplace isn’t just about where we work—it’s about how we work. As small and mid-sized businesses compete for top talent and build healthier, more productive environments, one upgrade consistently delivers: height-adjustable desks (HADs).

They’re not a passing trend—they’re a proven solution to real workplace challenges.

Here’s What the Data Says About Making the Switch

65% of Employees Say They’re More Productive
A year-long study by Steelcase, Perkins+Will, and the Center for Active Design found that 65% of employees using HADs reported increased productivity. When people can move freely and work in a way that suits their body, focus and output naturally improve.

47% Report Less Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain
Sitting all day takes a toll. The same study found that 47% of users experienced less upper body pain after switching to a height-adjustable desk. That means fewer aches, fewer sick days, and a more energized team.

Employees Without HADs Sit an Average of 9.8 Hours a Day
According to the British Medical Bulletin, office workers sit nearly 10 hours a day—a level of inactivity linked to fatigue, chronic illness, and disengagement.
When employees switch to a height-adjustable desk, their sitting time drops by 10–21%. That’s a meaningful shift toward better health and engagement.
