With this first in a series of interviews with The HON Company’s President Brandon Bullock, discover a rare gem: how company culture, shared goals, and meaningful connection have been a constant at this respected organization from the very beginning.
“Next year is when I finally get my stuff together and get organized.”
“My resolution is to lose the clutter.”
This is the time of year when most of us throw out aspirations that sound absolute. We resolve to do one thing better, or start taking ownership of another. Whether that’s in work or life, one of the most common is organization.
Have your office mates called for a teardown of the cube farm? Are they tired of open office plans that sabotage focus and privacy?
Is everyone claiming they actually work better at home?
This is the table’s time to shine.
Generally speaking, we’re approaching the time of year when we’re gathered around a table, enjoying the company of friends and family, and celebrating the holidays. In that sense, tables are a hot commodity.
Through the lens of work and the workplace, tables are again a topic of discussion. After a year-plus of focus on desks, chairs and space setups, it’s refreshing to talk about something that truly brings us together.

That’s not just old age—it simply stems from a not-so-healthy habit.
Sitting is one of the most time-consuming things we do every single day. We sit at work, we sit while driving, we sit on the couch or at the dinner table. The “sedentary lifestyle” that so many studies have pinpointed as a serious health risk, particularly in the last 16 months as working from home became prevalent, is actually fairly easy to kick.
