If you thought having the option to sit or stand at your desk…with your desk… while you work was great, then you are going to love what the latest models of sit-stand desks offer. They have gotten smarter!
Not only do the latest models of sit-stand desks give you the option of adjusting the height of your desk to facilitate you changing positions while you work, but newer models of sit-stand desks are built with sensors that actually monitor your sit-stand activity while at your desk. Do you get so focused on your work that you forget to change your working position? No worries. These new sit-stand desks will measure how long you have been sitting and will gently and automatically adjust your desk height so that you end up standing while you continue working, then do the opposite when it senses you have stood long enough—at least that is true for the sit-stand desks that adjust electronically. Some sit-stand desk sensors will also adjust the height of a desk based on the arm or hand height of a user while in either working position. Of course, these desks work best for user’s that remember to change their position.
For those who are health conscious or want to reach/maintain certain health goals, there are sit-stand desks that are also built with sensors programmed to measure the number of calories its user burns as well as sit-stand activity during the workday. Some of these desks even have a touch-screen display no bigger than the size of a mobile phone screen built into the desk which allows its user to pre-set activity goals and sit-stand height levels as well as see their health progress during the day. (As an interesting side note, did you know that a person burns 20% – 30% more calories while standing compared to when sitting?)
Other smart features of these sit-stand desks include connectivity to blue tooth and other smart devices that allow its user to control the lights and thermostat in a room.
What is best about these new sit-stand desks is that in most cases, they remain ergonomically friendly, optimizing the comfort level for users and minimizing pressure on one’s feet and back.
So, are you in the market for a smart sit-stand desk?

April 22nd is Earth Day, a day in which people were reminded to protect, value and maintain the environment. For some, it meant planting a tree or two. For others, it was a reminder to go green by consuming less energy, utilizing renewable energy or choosing less pollution-inducing ways to travel from one location to another. For the office space design world, however, it is an ever developing trend to find different ways to bring nature into the immediate work environment.
Here are just five elements of nature that have inspired office space design specialists to incorporate the outdoors into an office space design:
Companies and design specialists recognize the invaluable relationship between nature and people. Humans are more productive, creative and innovative when exposed to a natural environment, maybe because of the increased oxygen levels or the calmness and tranquility it imposes on the mind. Nature comes alive when humans recognize and take care of it. Hence, bringing this “eco-system” into an office space design makes sense, especially for companies wanting to have the cutting edge within their industries.

“Within one business day Mike McGauley and the team at D.J. McGauley arrived onsite to perform an initial walkthrough and provided a quote within a week.
The relocation included a series of move phases, furniture decommissions, and lease requirement repairs. The initial request covered the office relocation, but each additional request was met with a timeline onsite inspection and service quote.
Throughout the relocation process, the D.J. McGauley team provided an excellent and attentive services. They were quick to adapt to changing environments and requirements during COVID-19, which brought unexpected challenges. Mike McGauley with whom we worked closely during this project, was flexible, professional, and inspired confidence for a seamless move during an unprecedented time.
Based on this experience, I would highly recommend their services to others, and would not hesitate to reach out for future projects.”

“DJ McGauley & Associates are an intelligent, highly skilled and competent team of individuals. It was a pleasure to build a rapport with the contractors. The construction work was completed during over night working schedules and as agreed there was no disruption to our Corporation’s daily business. This was greatly appreciated by us as their client with a busy office environment.
Thanks to the close contact Mike McGauley maintained with Harte Gold Corporation, the interim deadlines were effectively communicated every step of the way of the planning, renovating and furnishing. Some aspects of the renovation work were even completed before the communicated deadline, which was impressive.
It was a pleasure dealing with such reliable experts and all inspections received flying colours as the work was completed to an exceptionally high standard. We would not hesitate to work with them in the future and Harte Gold Corporation would, furthermore, not hesitate to recommend DJ McGauley & Associates for your renovation project.”
