Wellness. Socialization. Productivity. Flexibility. Compactness. STAND UP R is a modular, adjustable height benching desk that hits all the right marks for hybrid working.

Summarized — 5 reasons STAND UP R is the best benching for hybrid work:

1. It supports wellness by promoting good ergonomics at the desk. 2. It fosters the social work functions our hybrid office is responsible for. 3. It boosts productivity by ushering a natural transition between tasks. 4. It’s a configurable desk system fit for occupancy fluctuations. 5. It’s compact, freeing up floor space for hybrid-apt areas like breakout zones.

Ergonomics is central to wellness at work.

One of the best ways to improve ergonomics in the office is to give employees more opportunities for movement. Why not give them these opportunities right at the place they spend hours of each workday: at their desks. STAND UP R is a smooth, sleek, adjustable height option for your consideration.

STAND UP R can be set at any height, sit-to-stand, letting employees work in any posture.

Sit. Stand. Perch. Rotation between all three. STAND UP R adjusts in height with lovely ease, giving people the entire rainbow of movement at their desks. It also pairs perfectly with ergonomic tools that multiply motion. Foot rests. Balance chairs. Anti-fatigue mats. Numerous others.

2.   STAND UP R fosters social work functions the hybrid office is responsible for

The hybrid office is chiefly for “people” functions. Collaboration, communication, socialization. STAND UP R is a great shared desk system for this reason. It fosters these “people” functions well by seating people near one another.

The desk facilitates teamwork without jeopardizing “me” work.

Yes, it’s like a benching station for vibrant team synergy. But its height adjustability lends the freedom to zoom down to a seated posture, too, checking out of the communal space and into a personal bubble when needed. The bench desk system is versatile.

Camaraderie just happens when employees work in close vicinity at a modular benching system like STAND UP R. They’re getting clarity from one another in real-time. They’re giving each other feedback on the fly. They don’t have to spend time scheduling and attending meetings for casual inquiries because most of such inquiries are resolved as organically and swiftly they arise

– says Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Mikomax.

3.   STAND UP R boosts productivity by ushering a natural transition between tasks

Certain postures suit certain tasks. Most people can think most integratively about systems sitting. Most prefer to stand for group work. Going from sit to stand at STAND UP R is fluid, making changing gears to complete such different tasks intuitive. Productivity is uninterrupted.

Yes, the office is primarily responsible for social work functions, now.

But it must also accommodate independent work, as mentioned. Hence the need for a desk like STAND UP R that engenders a variety of workflows, from team ideation to solo deep work, by supporting the variety of postures that set these workflows into motion.

If employees aren’t able to work alone as successfully as they are able to work collectively in the office, they’re going to be deterred from coming in or will simply suffer foggy focus when they do. This is why a desk solution like STAND UP R makes a lot of sense. It transforms from a semi-separate private sitting workstation to a shared standing height project table in seconds

– adds Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Mikomax.

Research indicates that standing increases excitement around creative group work.

And also makes people more open in general. This is why employees should be able to transition to a standing posture at their desks. At any point and with little effort. Such simple liberty promotes physical health. And bolsters an employee’s capacity in group settings, too.

Sit-to-stand ease also means more autonomy.

An effortlessly sit-to-stand desk solution like STAND UP R offers a degree of autonomy on par with the autonomy we all got accustomed to while working from home, where we tweaked our setups to our liking. The desk can help grease the wheels for a pleasant transition to working on-site more often.

4.   STAND UP R is a configurable desk system fit for occupancy fluctuations

How to roll with peaks and valleys in your office’s occupancy rate? Flexible furniture is a serious help. When you rely on modular desk benching systems like STAND UP R, you make your team’s home base fundamentally adaptive in response to their changing needs.

Individual STAND UP R desks can be linked to and unlinked from one another quickly, giving you the modular benching system that makes for a fantastically adjustable layout

– offers Eliza Donek, Product Manager, Mikomax.

Occupancy rate increase? No problem.

What if in 6 months you find that your average occupancy rate has increased markedly, leaving people strapped for a desk some days? Add a STAND UP R or two to your modular multi-desk unit.

Occupancy rate decrease? No problem.

What if in 6 months you find that your multi-desk unit is underutilized, leaving some employees struggling to get comfortable? Remove a few desks, making the unit more quaint. You’ll also optimize space, shoring up valuable square feet for something else.

Employee needs change? No problem.

What if at some point in the future, you discover a need for four permanent workspaces that offer more privacy than your multi-desk unit does? Just remove four STAND UP Rs from that multi-desk unit. Place each of them somewhere in the office that is quieter, more enclosed, and less communal.

STAND UP R is suited for a changing work world.

The point is employee needs are guaranteed to continually develop in our new hybrid landscape as everyone learns how to make the landscape work for them. A flexible desk system like STAND UP R makes keeping up with the developments much easier.

5.   STAND UP R is compact, freeing up floor space for hybrid-apt areas like breakout zones

As shown, the desk functions as either a private workstation or a collaborative project table, depending on what height you set it at and how you gang two or more of them together. It consolidates your workspaces. This frees up ample floor space for new zones. Breakout areas. Work lounges. Etc.
