The
working environment around the world is changing, slowly but steadily. Gone are
the days when offices were dull Google office deskplaces, where people had to
be tied to their desks. Now-a-days more and more companies are changing their
offices and the way they work.
A
number of studies suggest that sitting at a desk for long hours, at a stretch
can not only cause back problems but also other diseases like lung, colon and
endometrial cancer. Bad postures while sitting can cause spinal problems that
in turn can reflect badly on your work.
Google
is one of the leading innovators when it comes to their workplaces. Their
headquarters in India boasts of a mini golf course, a small cricket pitch,
swings, grazing greens complete with sheep, napping pods, massage and sauna rooms,
a gym and lots of food at micro kitchens.

positively as he feels less tired after a long day’s work.

and standing for long hours at a time is harmful for the body. Just like
