Several of society's leading experts are now encouraging standing desks in the workplace. Recently Iowa County has begun opening that option up to our staff as a means of making them more comfortable at work.
Employees who are concerned about their wellness or who have a hard time sitting for hours are trying out the standing desk option. Employees who have had past knee, back, or foot pains may find that the movement encouraged by standing is helpful as opposed to sitting for long periods of time.
The standing desks purchased by Iowa County have the flexibility to adjust so that an employee may sit or stand at their option. The additional movement this encourages leads to additional employee comfort and a better working environment. Our goal is to provide a workplace that is safe, reduces workplace injuries, and helps employees be productive.
If you have a chance, stop by the Iowa County Courthouse and ask an employee who is using a standing desk how they like it. I'll bet they immediately smile and begin talking about how it has made their work environment better.
