Flight plan step climbs/descents

Hi all. I came to the realization the other day that I have never seen a "step descent" in our company's flight plans due to winds being stronger at a lower altitude. I have seen them due to a change in magnetic track, but never to lower altitude winds being strong. Anyone else work at a place where the dispatch computer software will step descend the aircraft?
