From day one, every staff member was assigned the offer of an electric sit-stand desk from Sit-Stand.Com ®.

«We give every staff member a Yo-Yo DeskPro ® electric desk because we know the importance of a healthy workplace.»

He carries on, «fully electric sit-stand desk is easily adjustable. It is quick and likely to be used correctly rather than a manually operated version. It is for these particular reasons we chose the DeskPro ®. »
