Why Work Here?  Ask Roberto

Roberto Mendez, Senior Strategic Sourcing Manager
Employees are definitely empowered to make decisions, to take on additional responsibilities. You have the opportunity to develop your leadership skills. There's a lot of flexibility—a sense that you own your own area. You're not micromanaged. You're managing an independent business, if you will. So you have a lot of autonomy and you get the opportunity to take risks—and with that comes rewards.

I am responsible for expanding the diversity supply base. We're always looking for businesses run by people from other cultures, women, and so on. At Herman Miller, we do have diversity in regard to age and gender, and we have diversity of thought, as well as cultural diversity. That's interesting to me.

Consider Our Culture

Our culture runs on a passion for creating a better world around you. That means we work for the health and well-being of our customers and our employees, the environment, community service, and an inclusive Herman Miller community. It also means we work hard to give shareholders—which includes employee—a fair return.

We do this by designing furnishings and related services that improve the human experience wherever people work, heal, learn, and live. The solutions we invent help our customers' organizations—and our own—perform better.

Do Good With Us

That's our president of Herman Miller International, Andy Lock (the one in the white shirt). His visits to a school in Chinnagudi, India, are a slam dunk. He and a group of employees make furniture, decorate classrooms, build playgrounds, whatever needs doing. Those who can't go donate their vacation days to these volunteers.

In the last four years, our employees have volunteered 78,694 hours to this and many other causes. It's one example of how working at Herman Miller means doing good, in big and small ways, near and far.
