Desk Panels DPG
The innovative way to adjust office desks

LINAK.COM/DESKLINEThe challenge of standing up

We know it already. We sit down too much and move too little during the working day.
It seems easy, but how do we really bring movement into office workers' lives?

Sit-stand desks bring movement- but we forget to use them

Desk Panels DPG are designed
to shape behaviour

Height-adjustable desks are becoming more and more normal inmodern office environments. It is no longer a piece of furniture
reserved for the few. Employees are given the opportunity to be
active and work ergonomically correctly during the working day.

We aim to improve people’s lives and it does not stop in theoffice. So we conducted researches that would advise us on
how to create sit-stand systems that inspire people to move
more. Advised by behavioural science and product testing, wefound that easy operation as well as sit-stand reminders are thekey to desk usage.

However, research shows that we do not use the desks to theirfullest. Despite the best intentions, we somehow forget to move
during the day. Poor habits in the workplace dominate and weknow that prolonged sitting has negative effects on toour bodies.

A case study with 40 participants by the German ‘Institut fürGesundheit und Ergonomie’, testing if LINAK reminders could createa positive effect on the sit-stand behaviour of office workers. Thecase study revealed that office workers with the ‘sit-standreminder kit’ (including the Desk Panel DPG with LED reminder)
rated the usability of their height-adjustable desks as ‘good’ while
also increasing their sit-stand frequency.

End-users are motivated to stand more when using
LINAK reminder tools.
74 % increased their sit-stand use
78 % rated their desk usability as goodStudies confirm motivating effect ofsit-stand reminders
While we tend to forget to move and stand up during theday, LINAK® wanted to know how office workers could be
motivated to stay active and get the most out of their sitstand desk. Two independent research projects, founded by
LINAK, indicate that sit-stand reminders play a significant rolein helping people to stay active during their day.

agency /KL.7, LINAK® wanted find out to what extent (if any)reminders affected the sit-stand behaviour of office workers
using height-adjustable desks. 65 people in three different
workplaces tested different types of reminders, and foundthat office workers who would not normally stand at theirdesks, used their sit-stand desks 12 minutes more each day,
if they were reminded. Office workers who previously had alow sit-stand motivation increased their standing time by 43
minutes per day – thanks to the reminders.
