Update page to include walking pads

Kristi Piechnik requested to merge kpdoespr-master-patch-65834 into master

Why is this change being made?

Adding walking pads to the list office supplies that can be expensed. Height adjustable desks, chairs and anti-fatigue mats are included in the options of items to expense, and some team members may prefer to stand and move rather than sit stationary. Some team members have already paid for these out of pocket. I based the price range on the amount we are willing to pay for chairs as well as the walking pads that other team members chose:

Connected with Head of Remote @dmurph and he confirmed this is a worthwhile expense. It may also make sense to provide employees the option of expensing either a chair or a walking pad depending on what they prefer for their work style.
