I do agree with Ygeeta, but in my opinion, this is not a big issue because when you implement this situation on yourself, then you come to know exactly what is going on. My point is:
As per the company's working culture, the employees need to sit in front of a PC/Laptop for so long. If he/she finds comfort elsewhere, then they should be allowed to take a break. This is a common human psychology.
My second point is, if you observe a person while they are alone in certain places, ultimately you will know if they will behave the same way in front of others or not. Otherwise, circulate a notice among all, especially directed towards that employee.

Hi,
You don't put your foot in your mouth by disciplining him. In my previous organization, during conference calls with the chairman and the senior managers, the senior person would put the phone on mute and talk nonsense or tease in a playful manner and crack silly jokes. It is because of these thoughtless actions that the industry and everything else are taking a downturn. All employees, regardless of their designations, should behave in a manner that is respectful. Just keep doing your job. Don't worry about insincere individuals; they will always be there.
Take care,

I think before you conclude indiscipline, you need to inquire about his behavior. Whether he has some physical problem or a psychic problem, or if the person is arrogant? If you find him arrogant, you may take disciplinary action after due warnings. But if you find a physical or psychic problem, you should draw the attention of the management, and all staff members should try to help him come out of his problem. Remember, laws and rules are dead; hence, only intellect is successful. Therefore, use your intellect more than laws to maintain harmony in the company.

Take a printout saying, "Keeping your foot on the table is bad manners" or "Placing your foot on the table is like a kid on his first day of school," and stick it on the table where he places his foot. See if it makes a difference for him. If not, then try to play some school tricks. Some people never change for good; you have to get it done from them for good.

Dear HR,
When interacting with someone in the office, address office etiquette indirectly when they are around you. Monitor their improvement in this area, especially with individuals who may require guidance. If necessary, consider displaying a poster illustrating inappropriate behavior, such as a man putting his legs on the table, along with the consequences of such actions.
Thank you.

The employee is alone, and he is senior; he must be a responsible person in the organization. Do not tell him directly; ask him indirectly for suggestions with reference to another employee. Tell him whatever you would like to say and ask for his suggestions on how to deal with the situation. He will automatically understand that you are indicating indirectly. Please do try it.

I totally agree with Geeta. I think we should emphasize on sharing this with employee concern rather than taking it easy, "not an issue." This shows our (HR) approach towards maintaining discipline and culture in the organization.

Foot on the "MEETING ROOM" table:
The Best Solution is: Make a Notice from the Management duly signed by the Managing Director or Executive Director:
PROVISION OF MEETING ROOM FOR COMPANY MEETINGS:
'This is to inform all concerned that the MEETING ROOM is for the exclusive use for the purpose of conducting meetings, seminars, and conferences only.
Accordingly, the Meeting room will be available for the exclusive use of the said above only for the exact duration, for conducting meetings, etc., which should be preplanned and informed to the secretary who has been entrusted with the assignment directly reporting and taking approval from the Managing Director/CEO.
The meeting room will be 100% maintained by the management, by providing writing pads, pencils, and pens, drinking water. This will enable the attendees to concentrate on the meeting with excellent results.
Therefore, any proposed meeting room use should be communicated to the secretary in writing by the concerned department head in the format available with the secretary.
The secretary will keep the key of the meeting room and will take orders only from the Managing Director for the discharge of his duties.
Therefore, the secretary will receive requests and schedule the meeting room availability as per the demand and supply basis and maintain the schedule on a day-to-day basis.
Attendees for the meeting will enter the Meeting Room at the appointed time, and once the meeting is over, the meeting will be locked immediately.
No one should remain in the meeting room for their personal work, or once the concerned meeting has come to an end.
Therefore, kindly arrange to cooperate in the matter.
Any suggestions are welcome and should be addressed to the Managing Director for decision.
Looking forward to a cordial relationship for the best use of the Meeting Room.

Once this is done, whoever misuses will be totally eliminated from the meeting room, leaving aside where he keeps his legs later on.

Dear HR,
I have gone through the query and the various responses you have received. Well, first, you need to determine whether this is a problem or issue. If you are convinced it is, then resolve it. As mentioned by you, it has been observed when he/she is alone. How? Is there any CCTV? If yes, then please mention boldly, "You are under surveillance."
If you have happened to enter the room when the employee is alone and have found him/her doing so, then what was the reaction? Did the employee remove the foot from the table or continue? If he did not, tell him/her immediately, "Boss, this is the office." If he removed it after you arrived, just pass a comment, "Sorry, I thought you were resting." Some witty yet apt comments should solve the problem.
