St. Paul, Minn. (PRWEB) November 19, 2009
The simple act of standing may have great health benefits for office workers, according to research by Dr. Marc Hamilton, associate professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Missouri. Ergotron agrees. This holiday season, in the spirit of making computing more comfortable and productive for millions of users around the world, Ergotron is launching the Create A Comfy CubeLife Contest. One deserving person will win a WorkFit Workstation, Ergotron’s new sit-or-stand mobile computer workstation that enables office workers to move from seated to standing and back to a seated position whenever they wish—reducing back strain, increasing productivity and burning more calories. Avoiding the “low-down, not enough moving around cubicle blues” is possible with WorkFit, offsetting some of the negative impacts the sedentary act of sitting all day can cause.
“We’re excited to get the message out about the health benefits associated with this product,” says Jane Payfer, chief marketing officer at Ergotron. “The opportunity to award a WorkFit to someone out there in Corporate America is personally gratifying to me. Some of the folks around Ergotron have been sitting for over thirty years of their career. Their feedback has been great to hear, in some cases, experiencing immediate relief from aches and pains.”
Ergotron’s WorkFit is available in four configurations—from the productivity-promoting dual-monitor or combo (laptop with LCD) to single-LCD cart (Light Duty and Heavy Duty) models. Fully-equipped WorkFit workstations facilitate collaboration at home offices or fulltime, temporary or telecommuter work pods, especially when customized with accessories that fit an individual’s needs.
Beginning November 17, 2009, visit http://promos.ergotron.com to upload a photo of your current workspace, along with 100 words or less why you deserve to win a WorkFit Workstation. You may also nominate someone you believe deserving of a WorkFit workstation.
