We have all heard reports that sitting at a desk is a serious health risk. The lack of movement with the already sedentary lifestyle people live in their own private lives is a huge contributing factor to heart disease, sickness, and all other sorts of ailments.
One way companies have been trying to help is by creating standing stations for their employees to get up, move around, and generally take notice of their overall health.
However, there is concern on another front. There are reports of offices where employees must take the initiative to ask for such standing stations.
