They were Tested, and now Companies are Using Standing Desk

Using a standing desk is more than a trend, hype, or the latest bandwagon; it has now become the norm, the next big thing that is here to stay. The demand is significant among a new wave of health-conscious workers, and it serves as an employer's solution to enhance creativity and increase employee productivity and group performance. Recently, collaborative design teams and receptive business owners have agreed on the health benefits of using standing desks. This understanding has led to a new and updated office design.

There will be a change, with the inclusion of standing desks in the office, whether mandatory or optional, as requested by employees. Depending on the budget, companies can totally ditch the chairs or keep them, and convert their cubicles to sit-to-stand workstations. The point is to introduce standing desks and allow employees to have a choice. It is expected that with the introduction of standing desks, there will be an increase in health awareness and employee productivity.

Facebook is one of the social media companies that has taken the plunge and introduced standing desks to its employees. Employees took the initiative to request standing desks, and the numbers immediately began to rise. An official stated that numbers rose from five to eight in a week, with a total of 200-250 desks distributed within the company, which employs at least 2,000 people. It is also noted that when awareness about the health risks of a sedentary lifestyle went viral online, there was a surge in demand for standing desks or standing desk converters.

Greg Hoy, a design recruiter, requested a standing desk a few months after joining Facebook. He noticed that he felt more active and performed better in work-related tasks. He said, "I feel active all day long," and he no longer experienced a drooping posture in the afternoon. Another employee, Tiffani Jones Brown, a content strategist, also requested a standing desk months after joining Facebook. She said that a standing desk helped her maintain a high energy level when working.

Jordan Newman, a spokesperson for Google, shared that "the company distributed standing desks as part of their health and wellness program, and a significant number of employees are requesting them." However, when asked for specific numbers, he mentioned he did not know the exact number of standing desk users. Furthermore, FF Venture Capital, a firm that provides funding to technology companies, found that standing made their employees more creative and active in sharing ideas. This positive change in employees encouraged the firm to introduce more standing desks. They even considered introducing standing meetings now that they had furnished their meeting rooms with standing desks.
