Joy Stephan is the founder of 20Chairs, a brand that partners with clients to create work environments and cultures that people love. With a focus on building communities where people work, 20Chairs combines cultural research, change management strategies, and data-driven insights to help clients generate profits, save time, and attract and retain talent. By providing executives with processes, insights, systems, and measurements, 20Chairs helps reimagine and strengthen the experience and satisfaction of work.

Whether employees are on-site or working remotely, the brand increases the operational value of talent, real estate investments, and the organizations they serve. In addition to working with office developers, owners, and operators to attract and retain long-term tenants, 20Chairs also assists employees in discovering barriers to productivity and well-being, offering solutions to foster a more engaged workforce. Furthermore, the brand helps employers reimagine their environment and culture to support engaged, healthy employees and fiscal sustainability.

What sets 20Chairs apart is their commitment to including all stakeholders in the decision-making process. Rather than making significant investments without consulting the people they are designed to please, 20Chairs starts a process that simplifies how clients satisfy and retain their workforce. With a focus on communities, 20Chairs brings time-tested strategies to help companies attract, retain, and sustain their most valuable employees.

By offering a distinct and valuable workplace experience, 20Chairs creates prosperity and sustainability for its clients. Through her expertise and experience, Joy Stephan has helped numerous companies, including Fidelity Investments and the New York City Department of Education, discover innovative ways to create value while increasing satisfaction. With 20Chairs, clients can expect energizing, transformative, and fun engagements that produce measurable results
