\u201cAt its core, Herman Miller is a company focused on people,<\/em>\u201d said Brian Walker, CEO, Herman Miller. \u201cEvery employee contributes their own unique, valuable point of view, and we\u2019re honored to stand with the growing list of companies who embrace this diversity. \u2018Inspiring designs to help people do great things\u2019 is the mission we embrace because design is where we excel, and through design, we believe we can impact the world for the better. Building inclusive communities that value uniqueness in people and thrive on what binds us together, instead of what makes us different, allows us to better serve our vastly diverse audiences around the globe<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walker serves as co-chair of The Michigan Competitive Workforce Coalition, a partnership of business leaders representing companies, associations, and chambers of commerce who support the goal of updating Michigan\u2019s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Herman Miller is also a founding partner of the West Michigan LGBT Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

\u201cHerman Miller has always been committed to equality in the workplace, but the more we\u2019re able to engage our employees and have their voices heard, the more impact we see. These efforts are critical to fostering an environment where everyone is included and valued,<\/em>\u201d said Abe Carrillo, Director of Inclusiveness and Diversity at Herman Miller.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2007, the LGBTQ Inclusiveness Resource Team (IRT) is one of 12 global IRTs that develop and implement initiatives to benefit employees and help the company meet its business objectives. Specifically, the LGBTQ IRT advocates for LGBTQ employees in the workplace, and works to promote Herman Miller\u2019s inclusiveness and diversity efforts within our communities and the marketplace.<\/p>\n
