Everything Hon
Do you remember what kind of desk you sat in when you were in grade school or middle school? Chances are it wasn't anything like the desks we see in our classrooms today. The style and design of the school desk has changed greatly over the past few decades. The desks used twenty to thirty years ago were constructed of all wood or a combination of wood and bulky metal, making them very heavy and almost impossible for an elementary school student move around.
When I was thinking about writing this blog post, I wanted to talk about something that relates to my position here at HON. I work in the Integrated Design Solutions team and we work on specifying furniture and creating layouts for our dealers. With that being said, I wanted to hit on the top office design trends we are seeing on a day to day basis and how HON is a key player.
When I first moved to Iowa, I was surprised to see how much this region was influenced by manufacturing. The entire manufacturing process is something that has always intrigued me. I think it is fascinating how raw materials can quickly become items we use every day. Working at HON, I have the unique opportunity to experience this phenomenon of manufacturing literally just across the street.
The snow is melting, days are getting longer and the birds are returning home from their hiatus down south. As the birds head north, all 30 Major League Baseball teams head south to begin spring training. With the warm up of this American pastime, it is only appropriate to give those non-baseball lovers an analogy between baseball and office furniture to help them understand what they've missed and what to expect in the coming years. So sit back and relax, (no pun intended) while enjoying our comparison between baseball and office furniture, HON style.
Last week, HON Sales Training held three one-day Accelerate™ and New Product Training Sessions in Westlake, Texas at the Dallas/Fort Worth Marriott-Solana. I thought it would be a great opportunity to snap a few photos to show the day-to-day of a HON Sales Trainer.
