A web search for “inclusive design” will turn up at least a dozen different definitions.

In this conversation with Haworth’s John Scott, Gail Napell of Gensler’s San Francisco office shares why—especially now—inclusive design is so important in the workplace; how it differs from universal design; and why clarity, choice, and empathy for all are its key drivers.
