no sitting while working hours

Have anyone seen an office without office furniture? I was surprised to hear this from a friend of mine who works in a Japanese production firm. They had a sort of experiment about how to make an employee work more efficiently. What they did is measure the usual output of their employees for a month. Then they removed the chairs and replaced the tables with higher ones. The idea is to see if the standing position can make the workers concentrate more on their work.
Of course they are not planning to permanently do this. As I have said this is just an experiment, although the results show that people work faster standing. Hmm… I wonder what will happen if they implemented such kind of policy: “no sitting while working hours” hehe.
