A Japanese Company Launched A Standing Computer Desk To Prohibit Employees From

Posted by Vivian Wang on July 7th, 2019

In order to improve the efficiency of employees' work, a Japanese company has specially ordered a gray standing table that can only be used for standing, and prohibits employees from using the computer while sitting in a chair. This new office concept is designed to make it easier for employees to focus on their work and prevent employees from working long and inefficiently.
 
The Japanese company that promotes standing computer work is Iris Ohyama, which is a relatively large household electrical appliance company in Japan. They first set up a traditional desk with chairs for employees, but no computers could be placed on the table. If you want to work with a computer, you have to go to the gray standing desk next to the main table and stand up to work on the computer.

A spokesperson for the company said the move would increase productivity, make employees more focused at work, suppress sleep sensation, improve blood circulation, metabolism and help employees come up with ideas. In addition, in order to prevent employees from standing for a long time, the time for standing and using the computer is limited to 45 minutes. For employees with physical problems, you don't have to work on these newly designed desks.
 
However, how many occupational diseases will be caused by standing work for a long time. Does this company want to stand for too long? And if the pressure increases, how long does it take for employees to rest? If the staff is too stressed, it will drag down the work efficiency!
