Here is a link to a document produced by the Health Promotion Agency called “A Guide to Sitting Less & Moving More for Office Workplaces”
http://www.wellplace.nz/resources/sit-less-move-more-guide
Some tips from the document:
Update meeting agenda templates to include at least one agenda item during which everyone stands.
Encourage staff to walk over and talk to colleagues, rather than emailing
Organise staff challenges such as walking, pedometer or stair challenges
For those of us who do not wish to use a standing desk, there are lots of tips in here for how to get more movement into our working day.
