Based on the most helpful WSO content, standing desks are becoming more common in certain banks and groups. For example, JPMorgan's newly renovated floors reportedly have every desk as a standing desk. Additionally, if employees have back problems, HR may provide standing desk converters that can be placed on regular desks. However, the overall adoption rate across the industry isn't explicitly detailed.

Most trading floors I've worked on since covid have had the desks that convert. 

That's really cool man, I think it is good for business.
