Who We Are:

Steelcase is a global design and thought leader in the world of work. Along with our expansive community of brands, we design and manufacture innovative furnishings and solutions to help people do their best work in the many places where work happens.

Why People Choose to Work with Us:

At Steelcase, we put people at the center of everything we do. We understand the role of work and believe that it can bring meaning and purpose to the lives of our customers and our employees. We prioritize supporting our employees both in and out of work, in all aspects of their lives. When we bring our talents together, we make a positive lasting impact through our work and communities.

Our Approach to Hybrid Work: At Steelcase, we have always believed that the office is our best place to work. Our workplace is designed to foster collaboration and engagement, providing employees with a space to do meaningful work that drives results.

Our employees balance two key principles:

* We expect the office to be our primary place of work because that's where we gather to learn, teach, innovate, and host our clients. Being present together builds communities of belonging, enables strong teams, and helps us make meaningful progress.

* We also believe in giving people choice and control - over how, when and where they work to achieve commitments and deliver results, along with their wellbeing and personal needs. We trust employees to orchestrate their time and presence to best accomplish work, and what that looks like may change from day to day.

Levels of flexibility vary by role and team, and employees and their leader need to align on expectations of flexibility. Together we can help the world work better.
