How High Should My Table Be?
How High Should My Table Be? Folding tables are one of the world’s most popular tools. From meeting places to workstations, we use folding tables for numerous daily tasks. Despite their widespread use, most tables are built at 28 to 30 inches high, and this is where the problem begins. Almost every table is manufactured for users to sit at, whether for work or leisure. However, people regularly use folding tables for non-seated activities. Using a folding table as a workstation can quickly cause pain and fatigue. As we stand above the table to work, we force ourselves to bend our backs, necks, hips, legs, and arms in an unnatural position, which can lead to various health issues in the long term. Not only do these issues negatively impact the lives of workers, but they can harm business operations. Costs from losses in productivity and workers comp claims can cause [...]
6 Exciting Ergonomic Trends to Watch Out for in 2023
Ergonomic Trends to Watch Out for in 2023 Company leaders worldwide are embracing ergonomic products and strategies in 2023. From multinational firms to entrepreneurs, ergonomics is helping companies increase productivity, reduce injuries, and boost profitability. While ergonomics isn’t a new concept, shifts to remote work and emphasis on personal health have kicked off an ergonomics revolution in recent years. With 2023 in full swing, there are several ergonomic strategies and trends every professional should be aware of. 1. Goods-to-Person Picking Strategy With the rise in E-commerce and international shipping, the warehousing industry has witnessed incredible growth in recent years. While warehousing and distribution centers employ millions of workers worldwide, the industry has not caught up to modern ergonomic standards. Some modern warehouses are utilizing a Goods-to-Person picking strategy. Rather than employees searching warehouses for products, the products are sent to employee workstations through automated factory equipment. This process can improve [...]
Ergonomics, A Powerful Employee Retention Strategy
Ergonomics | A Powerful Employee Retention Strategy Company leaders may be inclined to think of ergonomics as a safety or comfort issue when buying ergonomic chairs or fatigue mats for their employees. But there’s more value to ergonomics than that. In reality, it’s well-documented that ergonomics in the workplace can positively impact employee performance and overall wellness. When a workspace is customized to fit employees' needs, they’re empowered to work productively, comfortably, and safely. Issues caused by poorly built workstations can negatively impact workers’ health, including problems like fatigue, back and neck pain, joint discomfort, heat stroke, eye strain, headaches, weakened immune systems, and more. Companies that fail to mitigate these health issues can lose millions from decreases in productivity and additional healthcare costs. But what about employee satisfaction? Companies that provide unsafe or uncomfortable working conditions will likely watch their best workers leave, resulting in additional preventable costs. Companies that invest [...]
How Ergonomics Translates into Dollars
How Using Ergonomic Solutions Can Boost Productivity & Profitability Folding tables are a popular tool in many industries, providing reliable, easy-to-use workstations wherever needed. But despite their widespread use, they have a significant design flaw. Folding tables are designed to be seated at, not stood behind. Although nearly every business, from retail stores to warehouses, use folding tables daily, these mobile workstations are rarely set at the proper height for workers. Unfortunately, it’s too familiar for workers to be bent over low-rising folding tables for prolonged work hours. This creates an uncomfortable and unhealthy work environment, and productivity and profitability can suffer from these poor working conditions. Companies like Lift Your Table® are providing ergonomic and functional workspaces for employees that use folding tables. Folding table extenders can quickly raise the height of any folding table to accommodate a variety of tasks, sizes, and workspaces. These durable and affordable table [...]
