Furniture solutions company Steelcase, takes employee training very seriously. The CEO, Jim Keane, is a firm believer in the maxim, that instead of curating standalone corporate training workshops, learning must become ingrained in the daily habits of employees, so that the process becomes gradual. He even stresses on the architectural design being crucial to stimulating such an environment. The office layout has a key relationship with the culture and relationships formed. At Steelcase, the focus is now on a human- oriented workplace design and flexible spacing. This philosophy also goes in tandem with the acquisitions or mergers to be impacted. Keane also reiterates how talent recruitment patterns will not be affected as much by automation as has often been made out to. Rather positions will evolve with time. As the world is more competitive now, business leaders automatically need to be more receptive to feedback. Workplace behaviours too now need to be held in top priority.
