ARBERGO mats enhance productivity by ensuring that employees feel less tired, as well as reducing short- or long-term absence from work due to illness because there’s less static load on the muscles and joints. More than two hours of standing work increases the frequency of problems with backs, knees and heels. 

A 1% increase in productivity is equivalent to five minutes a day. So this increase in productivity pays four times for the investment in this solution over the course of the first year. This increase in productivity could be many times greater.

The cost of paying someone for a half day off sick is equivalent to the cost of one workplace mat.

It’s estimated that having a member of staff signed off sick on a long-term basis could cost companies anything between 15,000 and 20,000 €. If you reduce this risk by 1 %, your mat will have paid for itself.

According to the  Swedish Working Environment Office, 85% of the total number of days staff have off sick are due to stress injuries. Stress injuries account for 20% of all occupational injuries. According to a German survey, 35% of absence from work is related to working standing up.

Happy employers, employees and corporate health care staff have plenty of tales to tell of staff off sick on a long-term basis who’ve even been able to return to full-time work once Arbergo mats were introduced.
