Justifying the cost of height-adjustable office work surfaces.
To defeat objections about "expensive" ergonomic product solutions, think like your colleagues do in facilities, real estate, human resources, and IT, and more clearly communicate the broader benefits of adjustable office furniture. The question shouldn't be "How are we going to pay for an improved office environment?" The better questions are, "Can we identify the ways that we already pay for a poor office environment?" and "Can we afford to keep paying?".
