The typical office worker will sit at their desk for over 1,300 hours this year, 10,000 hours just eight years into their career, and 53,000 hours by the time they retire.
Data shows that despite growing concern for the health and wellbeing of employees, desk-based employees are estimated to spend 70% of their working day sitting down.
Searches for “hip pain” and “chair pain” are on the up, while searches for "back ache" remain high, all symptoms associated with chronic inactivity.

Spot the difference: Hotel VS Office
Apr 19, 2023 12:05:33 PM / by Banner posted in Working Smarter, Employee Wellbeing, Return to the Workplace, Work from Anywhere, furniture
Co-working spaces have boomed since the pandemic and the associated normalisation of hybrid working.
These businesses offer a sensible solution that makes good economic sense to businesses that want to reduce their overheads. If your staff aren’t in the office for even 3 days a week, you can see why getting rid of the office entirely and instead renting a desk somewhere, no-strings-attached, might be tempting.
But this has created a new market, and these co-working spaces are competing. One of the benefits of this competition is new trend: the hotelification of the office.

Hybrid’s healthier! Believe it or not, working from home isn’t making us sedentary
Feb 28, 2023 2:52:13 PM / by Banner posted in Environmentally Friendly Products, furniture
Hybrid working is making it easier for people to take care of their health and well-being, data shows.
Despite fewer walks to and from work and lunch-time strolls, staying at home to work on a few days a week isn’t impacting our physical activity levels. Data shows that Brits are maintaining their physical activity levels since before the COVID pandemic and the advent of hybrid working.
This could be thanks to hybrid working helping us cut down on non-productive work-related activities, such as commutes, affording employees more time to indulge in their health, fitness and well-being, while some are finding it easier to exercise during work hours. This conclusion is backed up by data showing home gym equipment in particular, such as under-desk treadmills, is trending.
