SUPPORTING WELLBEING IN THE WORKPLACE

In any workplace, the bottom line is the health and wellbeing of its workers. A health-conscious workplace protects the company’s most significant investment and ensures the greatest productivity, efficiency, and innovation possible.

Ology supports the physiology and biology of workers to make the workplace a more health-conscious environment.

Posture Change

IMPROVING THE PHYSIOLOGY OF WORK

Ology makes it easy to change worksurface height and posture, and its convenient, intuitive controls encourage more health conscious behaviors.

Ology is available with two user interface options: a programmable user interface that includes a quick collaboration button to automatically adjust the height of the worksurface to a comfortable standing-height position and an intuitive user interface

Tailored Ergonomics

ERGONOMICS TAILORED TO INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

Ology is available with an integrated rail that supports space division, lighting, power and worktools, which can all be customized to meet the specific needs and workstyles of the user.

An optional soft edge profile helps to significantly reduce unhealthy pressure on forearms, and reduce feelings of shoulder and neck fatigue.

Antimicrobial Protection

BIOLOGY TO BENEFIT WORKPLACE WELLBEING

We researched the most frequently touched surfaces on a desk and applied an optional antimicrobial protection on those areas. As a result, Ology offers the up/down controller and the soft edge profile with antimicrobial protection.

Take Control of Wellbeing in the Workplace

Every aspect of Ology has been designed to promote user movement and wellbeing, including two control options—Simple Touch and Active Touch.

Ology’s Simple Touch control empowers users to effortlessly move the desk up or down without taking their eyes off their work, while Active Touch reminds workers to change posture with gentle desk motions.

Active Touch pairs seamlessly with the Rise app (available Winter 2018) allowing users to create a profile with preset heights and activity goals, and to track their level of activity over time.

Workplace Wellbeing

A GLOBAL CHALLENGE

There is a clear correlation between employee engagement and business performance. Many organizations realize the importance of employee wellbeing and it’s effect on productivity, efficiency, innovation and employee engagement, yet many struggle to articulate the factors that impact employee wellbeing and few know how to improve it.

Physiology

PHYSICAL CHALLENGES

People are simply not moving enough throughout their workday. In fact, adults are sitting 50-70% of the time.

This sedentary workstyle poses long-term physical challenges, from back and neck pain to repetitive stress injuries.

Biology

BIOLOGY

72% of workers still report to work when sick. With an increasingly mobile workforce sharing germs, this results in more absenteeism, decreased productivity, chronic disability and a decline in organizational performance.
