What happened
Mark Benden and Salzar co-led a study at Texas A&M University. The research, which analyzed data from more than 10,000 employees, found that workers using sit-stand desks averaged 43 additional minutes of active computer use each day compared to those using regular desks. This difference could translate to nearly $9,000 in annual productivity per employee.
