Creating the right type of environment can boost people\u2019s motivation and performance within a relatively short time.

Research such as \u201cStand Up to Work\u201d continues to demonstrate that height-adjustable desks can be an important part of a strategy to design for the holistic wellbeing of people.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a research-driven design firm that\u2019s committed to health, wellbeing and sustainability, \u2018Stand Up to Work\u2019 was a particularly important project for us,\u201d says John Haymaker, director of research at Perkins+Will. \u201cThe results validate many of our workplace design decisions, and provide the concrete proof points that data-driven clients are looking for when choosing design solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n The published \u201cStand Up to Work\u201d study is available to download now<\/a>.
