Doing Our Part to Protect Our Team and the Community
For more than 100 years, Herman Miller has used the power of design to serve humankind: the customers we serve, the people we employ, the communities in which we live and work, the shareholders who invest in us, and the world we inhabit. We’ll continue to use creativity, collaboration, and a whole lot of hard work to design solutions for the challenges brought to all of us by the unprecedented coronavirus.
Below is information on what we at Herman Miller are currently doing to meet these challenges. The situation is quickly changing; we’ll keep this page updated with the latest news and information.
Or, as we should say, physical distancing. Any employees who can are working from home. We’ve increased space on manufacturing lines that continue to run. We’ve restricted travel. We have protocols in place for essential visitors. Our retail store is currently closed. But we remain socially connected with each other, more than ever before.
Our Michigan manufacturing facilities are temporarily shut down through April 13 to comply with shelter-in-place orders from Governor Whitmer.
To reduce the burden during this difficult time, Herman Miller will be paying our Michigan-based operations and maintenance teams who are most affected by the shut down two weeks of wages, one week of paid vacation, and we’ll continue offering full benefits. Workers in Michigan who previously opted for voluntary lay-offs are also covered by this decision.
As “stay at home” orders vary in scope from state-to-state and around the world, we are evaluating our facilities and workforce from location to location.
To protect the well-being and the health of our employees and community, we’re closing our New York store at 251 Park Ave South until further notice. Herman Miller remains committed to making good design accessible. Though we've temporarily closed our physical location, we're still standing by to help you imagine your perfect space and fine tune all the design details. Reach out to us by email or call 888.798.0202.
