Be exceptional. Be yourself.
Each of us. Poet or technician. Designer or engineer. Young or old. Each person brings gifts, and when we encourage the free expression of the gifts of many different people, our company is more creative and vital. Everyone benefits. We have a better company. We have a stronger community. We have a more peaceful world. At Herman Miller, inclusiveness is not an option. It's imperative.
What We Believe About Inclusiveness
We value the whole person and everything that each of us has to offer, obvious and not so obvious. I believe that every person should have the chance to realize his or her potential, regardless of color, gender, age, sexual orientation, educational background, family status, skill level--the list goes on and on. When we are truly inclusive, I believe we go beyond toleration to really understanding what makes us unique and what unites us as human beings.
