Herman Miller, Inc. has been selected to receive a Great Place to Work award for establishing diversity as a fundamental corporate value and critical business initiative. Presented by the Great Place to Work Institute, the annual award is granted to only five companies appearing on FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list. Selections also are based on creative and effective approaches to developing trust, pride and camaraderie within the workplace.
"We have been working to build a diversity strategy that is meaningful, measurable, and reflects a well-integrated positive contribution to the company and its overall business plan," says Michael Ramirez, Herman Miller's director of corporate inclusiveness and diversity. "This recognition demonstrates that we've made an impact, but we are still working toward our stated goals."
Herman Miller will receive its award at the Great Place to Work Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday, April 2, 2008. Other award recipients include Boston Consulting Group, Root Learning, Wegmans, and W.L. Gore & Associates.
