As the premier supplier of height adjustable ergonomic standing desks, MultiTable.com is committed to helping employers embrace a healthy workplace lifestyle. The health benefits of standing versus sitting are numerous: studies show that people who sit for long periods of time have an increased risk of disease, and being sedentary can even lead to a shorter lifespan. As the risks of sitting too much have become well-known, more companies are choosing to be proactive, providing employees with healthier workplaces. MultiTable.com encourages companies to foster an atmosphere where employee health is not just an afterthought, but a driving force behind decisions ranging from standing desks to exercise programs.
Recognizing the trend toward workplace wellness, more and more cities are encouraging their employers to offer healthy workplaces. Part of that encouragement involves publicly acknowledging the efforts of those companies that go above and beyond for their employees’ health. Organizations are asked to go to healthiestemployers.com and complete a survey, and are then rated on their efforts to create a healthy workplace. Once a year, major metropolitan areas host “Healthiest Employers” award ceremonies. As part of their commitment to living the Height of Healthy Design, MultiTable.com has attended ceremonies in Phoenix, Portland, Dayton, and San Francisco. In each of these cities, MultiTable.com was there as leading employers were acknowledged for their contributions to corporate wellness. More than 400 people gathered on May 2 2019 for the Phoenix Business Journal’s 2019 Healthest Employers awards breakfast. MulktiTable was there to honor the 67 finalists.
“MultiTable has been at the front of the workplace wellness and healthiest employer movement since 2010, and we are so glad to see the outpouring of companies who have taken on these initiatives.” said Drew de Weerd, President at MultiTable.com. “It was really great to see that impact. Companies are coming up with unique and different ideas, everything from doing yoga in the park as a team to providing wearable health technology.” ~ Drew de Weerd
At each “Healthiest Employers” event MultiTable.com has visited, they have demonstrated their standing desks and held raffles to give lucky attendees one electric and one manual standing desk per event. There are currently over 85,000 people who stand or sit behind America’s #1 rated desk, and we hope that in 2020, more schools and companies will promote and use MultiTable as a new way to combat sitting disease and the rising health costs caused by sitting for long periods of time.
For MultiTable.com, attending events like these is a crucial part of their company culture. “To go in support of companies that are being recognized as healthy employers, is critical for us,” said Deluca. “We want to be a part of creating these healthy workplaces, but not just from a sales perspective. We’re more than just a piece of furniture. We want to be at the forefront of the healthy workplace movement.”
MultiTable.com will be attending “Healthiest Employers” events in other cities over the next few months, honoring companies that have the goal of transforming lives by making wellness a reality for their employees as well as their bottom lines.
