Movement in the Workplace
and Combatting Sitting Disease

Chairs are Killers – Lock Them Up!
 Encourage a culture of reduced chair time
by providing adjustable-height desks
 Get rid of 20% of the office chairs, and
pool the rest in a cubicle to be borrowed
when needed
 Too-comfortable chairs encourage longer
hours of sitting – ditch those first
 Urge employees to remove the chair from
their office at least once per day
 To level out energy levels and maximize
productivity, encourage employees to
stand or walk immediately after lunch.
In the past, when an employee complained of low back pain
from their chair the automatic response was to give them a
more expensive ergonomic chair, encouraging them to sit
even more! Try reducing their chair sentence instead.

Shared Workstations
 Adjustable-height desks, treadmill
desks, or desks with desktop risers
can be healthier hot desks for
hoteling or shared departmental
use
 Laptop-ready workstations should
have electric height adjustment,
monitor arm with large monitor,
ergonomic keyboard tray and
keyboard, and desktop power
outlets to charge laptops and
phones
 Make shared workstations a
scheduled resource, like a
conference room, with 30 to 120
minute time blocks

Conference Tables
 Adjustable-height conference
tables can be used for both classic
seated meetings or healthier
standing meetings
 Standing meetings are faster and
more productive
 Tables should have sufficient
outlets built-in for laptop and
phone chargers
 People naturally speak more
confidently when standing,
projecting their voice 20% louder

Scrum Tables
 Take scrum meetings out of the
hallway or chair circle and bring it
over to a standing-height table, so
people can take notes and more easily
share their computer screens when
needed
 No built-in power plugs to encourage
lingering
 Can be used for sitting or standing,
with its adjustable-height base. Less
expensive than conference tables and
chairs, and more space-efficient.
A scrum is a team pack in rugby where
everyone in the pack acts together to
move the ball down the field of play. The
format of the Scrum Meeting is where
this naming comes into play. Teams
meeting for scrum sessions are usually
standing in a hallway, room or open
space for no more than 15 minutes.

hoteling or hot desking employees

that floor, in that building or on that
campus to come by with their laptop
and try out a treadmill desk
 Establish a company criteria for
treadmill base requisitions
