Steelcase creates high performance seating products that can improve the health and productivity of millions of office workers – if they are properly adjusted. The chairs are shipped with hang tags and have diagrams underneath the arm caps, which aid them in learning how to adjust the chair, but tags are quickly removed and diagrams are sometimes overlooked.
To further promote workplace well being, Steelcase is adding QR codes to the diagrams on the arms of its leading seating products. These QR codes will invite users to scan them and will lead to interactive videos, enabling users to see how their chair can be easily adjusted.

Steelcase will begin shipping the Leap chair with QR codes this fall, with other seating to follow next year. (more…)
