Citypress has four offices across the UK and over 70 consultants in roles that involve significant desk work and meeting time. The company wanted to ensure this was not detrimental to the wellbeing of their staff. The project with Beat the Seat built on the investment they’d already put into the physical workspaces in their offices.
Successfully changing working behaviours for the long term

The project in action
Beat the Seat started by giving all participating employees an eight point NHS standard health check. The comments staff gave during the process showed they felt this was valuable and demonstrated their company’s commitment to supporting their health and wellbeing.
We then worked with the Citypress teams to educate them about the potential dangers of sedentary behaviour at work and provide them with practical ways to increase activity and time away from seats and screens. This was reinforced by regular reminders and posters across the Citypress offices.
