Keeping the health momentum up in your office

A New Year brings an opportunity to realign your fitness and health goals and more often than not, sedentary roles in offices can hinder your efforts outside of work. That’s where iOTA comes in, we help businesses utilise their workspaces to boost productivity and make offices a comfortable environment to be in.

With sit/stand desks, ergonomic design with chairs and tables, desk risers, stands, enhanced lighting options and biophilic design, there’s no excuse for a lacklustre office in Northamptonshire!

Sit and stand! 

Sit and stand desks have been proven to improve productivity due to their flexibility to get you up and out of the ‘natural pose’ when it comes to desk working. By standing you’re working some of the largest muscles, you’ll be more inclined to move your body and when your blood is flowing, your brain is powering up and you’ll instantly feel more revitalised.

Sitting for prolonged periods of time naturally increases more health risks due to the lack of blood flow, so any design changes you can make to encourage movement is fantastic. Whether that’s more flexible working spaces where people aren’t designated a space and free to move daily, whether it’s encouraging standing up or making meetings become more of an engaged zone.

If you have employees who are working on their fitness especially as we head into 2024, offering sit stand desks or more collaborative zones for meetings, will help with their muscle fatigue and encourage movement. Standing desks can take a bit of getting used to and also a little bit of confidence as standing can feel a little dominating in a room however, when you reap the benefits, it’s brilliant for changing up posture, health and productivity.
