I may be starting a new position soon, and one thing I've wondered about is whether or not I will be able to keep my standing desk. The reason for my question is that it was purchased by my department for me, with the justification of it being for my health. Currently anyone who desires a standing desk can request one. I know the best approach will just be to ask my supervisor and get an answer from them, but I am also just curious as to what the standard practice is for 'health assets' given to employees after change of employment.
I am a software engineer, and added the software-industry tag, but if that's too specific I can remove it.

What was the agreement or understanding at the type of purchase? Also what makes you think you are entitled to keeping company own property? If they had provided a laptop to be used for work, would you expect to keep it?

I have never heard of any company giving away desks purchased using company funds. So as far I have have seen it is not standard practice at all. Should you be able to keep this desk? Not in my opinion, no, but you can always ask. Imagine if everyone wanted to take their desk, chair, computer, lamp, rug, etc, etc.

This. It was purchased by the company to accommodate employees with a need for such a desk, such as the OP. It was not purchased for the OP. That the purchase was initiated by the OP informing the company of their need for such an accommodation doesn't change this at all.

Do you also plan to take the computer, monitor, phone, etc with you? The answer to your question is likely the same for them. It's equipment purchased by the company for the purpose of you doing your job.
I have a 43" monitor on my desk and a pair of $200 noise cancelling headphones. I'd sure love to take both with me on my last day in 2 days. But I doubt very much they'll let me.

It might be worth asking about the headphones, given the possible "cleanliness" risk - not accusing you of being dirty though. But some don't like "second-hand" headphones... The monitor is easily re-used though.

What was the agreement or understanding at the type of purchase? Also what makes you think you are entitled to keeping company own property? If they had provided a laptop to be used for work, would you expect to keep it?

I have never heard of any company giving away desks purchased using company funds. So as far I have have seen it is not standard practice at all. Should you be able to keep this desk? Not in my opinion, no, but you can always ask. Imagine if everyone wanted to take their desk, chair, computer, lamp, rug, etc, etc.

The only way I could see you keeping it is if you intend to pay a fair value for it.
