Work is taxing. One in four workers say they have too little time to do their job (Rand). At the same time, neuroscience tells us our best thinking doesn’t happen when our brain is under stress. The result is a powerful message to employers: Working conditions, and the wellbeing of people, matters. People are rejecting the sea of sameness that’s become synonymous with the office. Instead, they are seeking places that feel good and help them get their work done. Today, Steelcase announces a new relationship with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, a leading home furniture brand, to offer more choices for creating great experiences for people at work.Improving employee wellbeing helps people be more productive, creative and innovative, and less likely to leave for a competitor. In today’s workplace, people often want a more comfortable, inviting place to work that offers different postures and a more relaxed environment where they can be themselves.
