What’s good enough for Google…
Despite the research, and the testimonials, and the results, some people still question if a standing desk is a fad. Well, let’s take a walk into the some of the most forward-thinking companies and see.. oh, hey look. There are standing desks.
From Google, to Facebook, from AOL to Twitter, these are just a handful of some of the tech companies that are outfitting their employees with what they believe is the best way to work.
At Facebook when multiple employees read an article about the health benefits of a standing desk and approached management, the boss listened. In 2011, when there were over 2,000 employees, between 200 and 250 standing desks were requested- as many a eight a week.
The Wall Street Journal interviewed a Google employee who worked at a standing desk and he said, “I don’t get the 3 o’clock slump anymore. I feel active all day long.”
At Google standing desks are a part of their wellness program. You don’t even need a doctor’s note to request a standing desk (because standing is is beneficial to anyone before they get a health issue).
Tech companies are trying to recruit the smartest, the brightest, and the most brilliant people and they are trying to make those people as happy and healthy as possible. That’s why they offer their employees standing desks.
