We engineer our work chairs to a standard the industry hasn't yet caught up to. Where BIFMA requires 20 tests, we run 80+ — pushing every material, every mechanism, and every seam past what it will ever face in the real world.

What can restrooms teach us about designing for inclusivity? A lot. Author and professor Omari Souza joined the Work Better podcast recently to share how small things can add up to big design challenges depending on the individual - and it provides a lesson about mitigating harm while designing for the needs of people. In this edition of the Work Better by Steelcase newsletter, we share our conversation with Omari. We also show how inclusivity is represented at Steelcase - in both the way we design spaces and the way we engage and help care for the communities where we do business.

As screen time grows and AI becomes part of every workflow, the workplace has to keep up. When technology and space aren’t designed to work together, collaboration gets harder and the workday becomes more draining than it needs to be. We consulted with our designers, IT experts and tech partners from companies like Microsoft, Logitech, Zoom, Crestron Electronics and more to identify 7 things organizations should consider as they rethink how people meet, collaborate, reserve space, stay well and stay connected.

The newest edition of Work Better by Steelcase is here — and this one hits on the big question so many leaders are asking: If we're investing in revamping our spaces, why are so many employees still giving workplaces a “C” grade? We answer that by digging into fresh global research, showing real before‑and‑after space transformations from our designers, and sharing how real, meaningful choice is the key to helping people focus, connect and do better at work. You’ll also get a behind‑the‑scenes peek at how we’re gearing up for Design Days in Chicago, plus a spotlight on the NEXT student designers who are turning neighborhood inspiration into workplace community. Their ideas are human-centric — and seriously energizing. If you care about creating places where people actually want to work — not just where they have to work — this edition is worth a read.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we’re honoring the voices of our Pride Business Inclusion Group members, leaders and our community partner AYA Youth Collective, who remind us that inclusion is a value we must actively foster every day. Across these reflections, a common thread stands out: when people feel seen, heard and valued, and can show up as their authentic selves, it strengthens creativity, collaboration and the impact we create together. #PrideMonth
