Has anyone switched to a standing desk? Do you feel more productive? Was it worth it? Did you switch at the office or at your home?

I have one in my office. Enjoy using it when I’m there. Definitely keeps me more energized.

I have one at the client site and love it. I usually stand the first few hours of the day. Not sure it makes a huge physical difference but mentally it makes me feel better

I miss having a standing desk - my last two clients had them and I took advantage more often than not.

Standing after lunch is nice, otherwise I just fall asleep.

Our office has the Veridesk convertible standing desks. Love those! Whenever I feel little less energy, I move it up and voila!

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

What do you recommend?
