Steelcase renews partnership with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy

Steelcase, the global leader in the office interiors industry, has renewed its partnership with the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).



CSP and Steelcase continue to work together, with Steelcase being an approved partner of the CSP in recognition of their ergonomic design and capabilities within the UK.

Mark Spragg, Managing Director of Steelcase UK, said: “Steelcase and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy both share the same commitment to research and wellbeing in the workplace. For example, Steelcase research shows that employees who work within supportive environments where they are seated comfortably and ergonomically, are more likely to feel valued and less likely to suffer from emotional and physical problems that can result in absenteeism and reduced productivity. We really value the input and support the CSP have provided over the past two years and look forward to continuing this relationship."

James Hale, Marketing and Communications Director for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, said:
“We believe it is vital employers do all they can to ensure the work environment is safe and comfortable for employees, especially given that office workers spend an average of more than six hours in front of a screen on a typical working day*. Steelcase products go a long way in achieving this goal. We are proud to partner with Steelcase, a company that is dedicated to the importance of good ergonomics and designing furniture for the way we work today. We look forward to the year to come.”
