In corporate boardrooms around the world, CEOs are recognizing that employee engagement is a serious, bottom-line issue.

That’s because there’s a clear correlation between engagement and performance. Yet, few organizations can articulate what factors impact employee engagement and fewer still, know how to improve it.

We believe place can help.

POWER OF PLACE | THE CONVERSATION

When people come together with a shared purpose in a place that delivers not only what they want, but the things they need, it can activate engagement by enhancing their physical, cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

Our most recent research reveals that one of the things people need most is something that most offices lack – privacy. While collaboration remains critical for driving innovation, the ability to focus, reflect and rejuvenate is critical for successful collaboration.


NeoCon 2014 highlights our insights, applications and solutions designed for interaction and privacy, for both individuals and teams, across the Steelcase family of brands.

A special feature are Susan Cain Quiet Spaces by Steelcase – spaces designed with the unique needs of introverts in mind, allowing them to focus, rejuvenate and tailor levels of stimulation. This collection leverages V.I.A. as a platform to deliver superior acoustics and incorporate furniture, lighting, surface materials and technology.

STEELCASE EDUCATIONSUITE 3-100

Blended learning is the combination of in-person and online instruction and is becoming the new-normal for all levels of education.

New Steelcase research and others have shown that this type of learning results in higher-level cognitive thinking than online instruction or in-class instruction alone. In other words, place has never been a more essential component of education and learning.

POWER OF PLACE | STEELCASE EDUCATION

Steelcase is well-positioned to support the types of learning that are happening in these learning places.

Although many workers can work from almost anywhere today –including their homes (1st places) and 3rd places like cafés and airport lounges, leading organizations recognize the need to invest in offices (2nd places) to attract, support, engage and retain high performance employees.

By responding to the spectrum of workers’ needs, the workplace can become the destination of choice. That’s why we translate insights from 1st and 3rd places to bring life to work in 2nd places – to make them the best places to work.

Coalesse supports the new ways people want to work, alone or together.
