Transforming the human working and living space
A combination of human centric workspace design and ergonomic furniture are increasingly becoming important to retain young and agile team members, asserts Stacy Stewart, Regional Director, Middle East and Africa, Herman Miller.
Herman Miller is a 100+ year old company that places great importance on design, environment, community service and the health and well-being of customers and employees. We work with leading designers to create products that help companies perform better. Herman Miller has had a presence in Middle East and Africa for over 30 years. The team has over 25 members working alongside a well-established dealer network.
Expo 2020 is bringing phenomenal growth to the UAE. Neom is building up Saudi Arabia. The other parts of the GCC are also seeing major development. Organisational change is happening more frequently and rapidly than ever. Fast paced expansion and contraction of the workforce to meet the changing needs of the organisation means they quickly outgrow or shrink their office space.
Many organisations seek global experience and advice to help them remain agile and future proof their environments. The workforce today now seeks out and stays in jobs that prioritise wellness, comfort, and flexibility. All of which can be supported by human centric workplace design and ergonomic furnishings.
Highly networked and increasingly human, today’s technology engenders ultimate connectivity. Digital tools enable a virtual experience throughout the landscape of work. Technology is rapidly taking over and shaping our entire lives. Herman Miller have been exploring and investigating innovative technologies, to align with the business and to understand their problems, making us easier to do business while increasing operational efficiency.
Herman Miller works with the most innovative designers and thinkers in the world to create products and solve problems. Herman Miller will be applying innovative technologies to internal processes to improve speed, accuracy, ease and efficiency so that people are freed up to think about the big picture.
For our consumers we will be weaving innovative technology into everyday customer interactions that help us anticipate needs and tailor experiences, making it easier and more enjoyable to do business with us, we will also empower our sales organisation with innovative tools that elevate their game, differentiate us from competitors, and help us win more.
Herman Miller products help people to achieve great things at work or home. Our aim is to offer our customers a product which supports them as they undertake their work in the digital world, such as chairs that offer full ergonomic support for people sat at desks for long periods of time.
