Benefits For Your Organisation
For All Staff
- Increased staff productivity. DeskActive reduces lethargy, stress and boosts morale by placing an engaging focus on health, safety and wellbeing activities and advice.
- Research shows healthier staff are happier, less stressed and more productive.
- Quantifiable reductions in absenteeism, presenteeism effects (see right), and staff turnover.
- Reduces the need for costly and disruptive health & safety announcements, training and seminars.
- Makes it easy for organisations to meet their legislative health & safety obligations to staff, as dictated by workplace insurance and government legislation.
- Proactive companies that excel at looking after their staff are favourably regarded by employees, the public, and shareholders as ‘employers of choice’.
Overcoming Injuries
- DeskActive reduces workplace injuries, particularly occupational injuries like back and neck problems, RSI (repetitive strain injury), OOS (occupational overuse syndrome), and carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Reduced length and severity of injuries, brought about by early detection.
- A cost effective approach to injury rehabilitation and return-to-work, enabling remote assistance for recovering staff - more efficient and effective than face-to-face assistance alone.
- Implementing DeskActive to safeguard staff wellbeing protects your company from potential claims of workplace injury.
The many benefits of DeskActive ensure a positive return on investment (ROI).
For a cost comparable to a single, once a year, face-to-face service (like a health assessment or ergonomic assessment), DeskActive delivers improvements in health and safety to all staff, every day.
Read research on the extent of the sedentary environment problem, and the effectiveness of stretch/exercise break solutions.
‘Presenteeism’ is a new term which describes the lost productivity brought about by employees that attend work, but are not functioning to their full capacity because they're suffering from some form of physical or psychological illness.
A 2007 study by MediBank Private (a major Australian health insurer) indicates that presenteeism costs organisations nearly 4 times as much as absenteeism, and furthermore a 50% reduction in presenteeism effects could increase the profit margin of an organisation by 10%.

The increasing focus on technology has meant that our office workers are now less physically active during their workday than ever. Everything they need is right there on their computer screen, so there is little need to move around.
The body is designed to move, so a lack of movement leads to various health problems, both physical and psychological. These problems include different types of RSI (repetitive strain injury) or OOS (occupational overuse syndrome), musculoskeletal disorders (e.g. chronic back or neck pain) and even DVT (deep vein thrombosis). Psychological side effects include lethargy, poor motivation, low morale, inability to concentrate and even depression.
All these problems cost your organisation. Absenteeism, presenteeism, increased workplace injuries and above all poor performance are costly repercussions of an inadequate health & safety policy.
