The study<\/a><\/span>, conducted by the University of Arizona Institute on Place and Wellbeing released last month, found office workers across four different US federal office buildings in open plan offices with no partitions on their desks,\u00a0routinely increased physical activity by 20% over colleagues who worked in walled cubicles, and 32% over those who sat in private offices. The more active workers also reaped benefits at home too, with measurements from wearable heart sensors finding they were 14% less stressed than their sedentary colleagues.<\/p>\n

‘The research validates our company’s core mission’<\/h4>\n

\u201cThese findings raise the stakes for every organization\u2019s workplace health and wellness programs,<\/em>\u201d said Chris Laudadio, president and CEO of Zero Gravity Tables. \u201cNow that workstation type has been directly linked to the health and wellbeing of office workers, including stress level beyond the workplace, our company\u2019s core mission to improve the lives of all customers has been validated<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The combination of these research objectives and findings are a catalyst for Zero Gravity Tables business development initiatives, as an established GSA supplier already working closely with several government agencies and departments to meet workplace technology demands. The company\u2019s goals are not just to replace, but support and continue to improve existing workstation types for customers across all industry verticals.<\/p>\n
