    The optimum working environment involves 60% sitting, 30% working while standing, and 10% walking.
Research shows that the optimum working environment involves 60% sitting, 30% working while standing, and 10% walking. The Works EL from Samas, the Dutch company which leads in office furniture and working styles, allows the user to easily modify the height of the work surface from 67 centimetres to 127 centimetres to quickly change from one working environment to another.

The Works EL - available exclusively at OFIS, a division of Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group - moves perfectly into the correct settings for each individual. It uses a powerful and quiet electric motor which allows the desk to change position quickly and easily and an extensive range of accessories including a PC holder, printer stand and cable channel makes it a versatile workdesk.

With many people in the UAE working in shared work spaces and often long hours, this new design ensures that every member of staff can work comfortably within the right ergonomic environment.

Mr. Ajai Dayal, General Manager - Retail and Marketing, Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group, said:
"This kind of new office technology will change the way we work. Makers are now looking beyond aesthetics and ergonomics, taking development to another level with the aim of achieving a fully personalised environment, where people 'want to come and work' rather than feeling pressured or stressed."


Ed Floore, Director International Sales from Samas, said:
"The Works EL from Samas will help eradicate painful stretching or bending so individuals are comfortable in their environment and be more productive. We are already seeing many international companies introduce this new system in offices throughout the world."
