* A Washington State analysis of office ergonomics case studies showed the median productivity increase was 12% following an ergonomic intervention. Other studies found employees to be 18% more productive when provided with ergonomic furniture that they are trained to use.

† According to a Texas A&M study, call-center workers with stand-capable desks sat about 1.5 hours less per shift, resulting in measurable productivity gains that averaged 45% compared to their seated counterparts. Outcomes may vary widely depending on task and environment.

‡ Using multiple monitors eliminates toggling between documents, decreasing the time it takes to complete tasks. Studies show an average productivity increase of 20% to 30% when using two displays. Depending on situation, increases range between 5% and 100%.
