We collaborate with our employees, dealers, partners and customers around the globe to build inclusive strategies, programs, places and spaces for all.
Our Commitment to Fostering Inclusion
Steelcase collaborates with our employees, dealers, partners and customers around the globe to build inclusive strategies, programs, spaces and places for all.
We work to build diverse teams, ensure equitable access to opportunity and create a culture of inclusion. We create tools and resources to support dealer DEI efforts and aspire to maintain our supply base which supports more than 700 small businesses. We ensure equitable access to wellbeing services for employees around the world, and we empower employees to take control of their own development by making learning accessible and equitable to everyone through a range of experiences. Our inclusive design practice collaborates alongside global advocates to share best practices and develop design strategies with, and for, our employees and customers.
When we build inclusive places and experiences, we’re helping the world work better.
Inclusive Design
We believe all organizations have the responsibility to build accessibility and inclusion into the design and implementation of forward-thinking, equitable workplaces. This is why we are building a practice to listen, learn and extend strategies for inclusion into our business while also serving the needs of our customers.
We collaborate alongside global advocates and community partners, like the Valuable 500, G3ict, SPORK! and Special Olympics Michigan, to share best practices and develop design strategies with (and for) our employees and customers across the world. This collaboration has led to key design principles, workshops, space concepts and case studies that prioritize inclusion and work better for all.

Diversity, Equity + Inclusion
At Steelcase, we work to build diverse teams, ensure equitable access to opportunity, and create a culture of inclusion for our employees. We create tools, resources and actionable plans that inspire and support aspirational dealer DEI efforts. And we aspire to develop and maintain a diverse and robust supply base and support more than 700 small businesses.
Wellbeing
People deserve a community that supports their wellbeing, no matter where they live and work. When people feel good — physically, cognitively and emotionally — they are better equipped for life and work and feel a greater sense of inclusion.
Our recent webinar shares how designers, HR leaders and wellness navigators are redefining wellbeing in the workplace.
Learning + the Future of Work
Learning empowers people to take control of their own development. We strive to make learning accessible and equitable to everyone through a range of experiences. The ability for people to learn and grow in their career helps empower employees by giving them agency over how they make progress. Business is constantly changing, so people need new skills to thrive. We invest in our employees and their futures by developing clear performance goals, creating community through learning together, and aligning career and development goals with business needs.
