If you and/or your employees spend a significant amount of time sitting at your desks working on computers, you may be shortening your lives. Simple workspace changes can lead to healthier employees, and healthier employees mean a healthier business.

Interesting read Jay. Been sitting and standing lo' these many years. I find when talking on the phone standing is best for the voice projection, intonation, and expression. Had not thought on the need to stand while on the computer. I might be one of those MacGyver types, only because I would not take the time to shop for other solutions (also because I have an old desk). Perhaps my age. I recently saw a sales office where all the account executives were using the exercise ball, and comments are that they are quite comfortable. Will be interesting to see if there are long term studies on standing.
