Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

On a perfect working day, from the vantage point of your health and exercise, you should only sit for half of the time you spend in the office. The remainder of the time should be divided evenly between standing and walking. In prac- tice, in most offices it is very difficult to even slightly re- duce sitting time. It is different when employees can work while standing up at an adjustable desk. Fortunately, in recent years there has been a growing awareness of how important height-adjustable desks are for building an ergonomic workplace. In 2018–2019, we worked on two models of such desks, which went on the market the following year. These are: a budget desk – eUP, and a version for the more demanding customers – eModel 2.0. Both products have electrical height adjustment and allow the user to perform daily work in a sitting or stand- ing position, relieving the muscles of the spine and neck. When it comes to product ergonomics, knowledge is crucial – both at the design stage, product selection and the final use of the product. Therefore, every office work- er in our company undergoes a short training where they learn how to adjust the chair they use every day. We also provide the same training to our distributors, customers and end users.
