The office of the future
Flexible working models, a work-life balance and the breaking up of outdated structures form the concept of a new work culture in which the employee is the focus. Everyday office life has thus already changed - this offers new opportunities, but can also entail certain risks.
Working from home offers a variety of advantages: Long commutes are eliminated, as is the stress and time involved, resulting in a gain in free time. The start of the workday is much more relaxed. However, the general time management of the working day should also be mentioned here, as you can sometimes organize it much more individually in the home office.
In addition to the advantages that this form of work offers, it unfortunately also involves some risks - there are also disadvantages on a social level: Exchanges with colleagues, a little chat over coffee or any other spontaneous encounters are not possible in the home office.
Recommended office chairs for the seated area
Both active-dynamic sitting and height-adjustable desks are still on the rise and offer a welcome change for your back. But what is actually meant by this? With active-dynamic sitting, you change your sitting posture as often as possible. True to the motto: the next sitting posture is the better sitting posture. This is promoted by active office chairs, which, depending on the system, also unconsciously ensure a higher number of posture changes than is the case with conventional "immobile" office chairs. This is why they are particularly recommended for people who are dependent on additional movement impulses due to their almost exclusively sedentary activities.
Tip: Spend 30 percent of working time standing up
By the way: You should spend at least 30 percent of your working time standing. In addition to height-adjustable desks, mobile sit-stand desks offer an optimal and, above all, flexible solution for achieving this goal. Especially as a supplement to the classic desk. So you can quickly and independently of the desk do one or another activity while standing. In addition, you are not bound to a fixed place by mounted castors and can thus easily move your workplace to other premises. Mobile sit-stand desks thus develop an automated change of posture as if in the blink of an eye.
To do your back some additional good, you can incorporate various small exercise units into your daily office routine. Initially, simple stretching exercises are suitable. They relax the muscles and keep them flexible. But it's important to get out of your desk sometimes! Use your lunch break or after work for a walk or do other small exercises.
