Herman Miller launched its Election Day off for a Day of Purpose in 2020, meaning employees are paid for taking a day off during general elections. This way, the furniture brand ensures the voices of its workers are heard.
Herman Miller is also known for its donations to nonprofit direct relief programmes. For example, in 2020, Herman Miller distributed face masks to West Michigan’s largest emergency homeless shelter, Mel Trotter, and the nonprofit organisation MOKA, whose focus is helping people with disabilities.
