Do Apple Employees Get Standing Desks at Apple Park Headquarters?

Yes. Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that all employees will be given a standing desk at Apple Park, the company's new headquarters. "We have given all of our employees, 100%, standing desks. If you can stand for a while, then sit, and so on and so forth, it's much better for your lifestyle," said Cook in a recent Bloomberg interview.

Why did Tim Cook Provide Apple Employees with Standing Desks?

According to Business Insider, Cook has previously stressed health as one of Apple Watch's key features including simply setting alerts to stand up every hour during the workday, originally cited in a 2015 Guardian article.

“Ten minutes before the hour, it will remind you to move," said Cook. “If I sit for too long, it will actually tap me on the wrist to remind me to get up and move, because a lot of doctors think sitting is the new cancer,” said Cook during an on-stage interview at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference.
