Kimball International has 37 different facilities. It is a manufacturing
comapny that deals with electrinics, office furniture, health care
furniture, and contract projection television cabinetry and stands. The
unit I work for deals with laminated office furniture and projection
television cabinetry. I have been with Kimball for almost 25 years and
have been in the present company for 19 years.
Currently, we are trying to do more with less and learning how to make
our Vision and Guiding Principals work in this environment. We strive to
make "our people our greatest asset" yet we find we get bogged down in
the production of the product and running the business. But, I have
found that we are open to honest dialog and make changes accordingly.
The culture is work culture, by that I mean, the people work very hard
to make us successful. The people are the production employees, and the
support and management staff. The president of the company goes out of
his way to visit the facilities an a fairly regular basis. Diversity is
an issue that is taken to heart. As a company we try to instill an
acceptance of the diverse culture that are becoming part of our family.
Hours depend on what your job is. You are expected to work an eight to
nine hour work day, in my case, ten and eleven hours are not unusual
because of what I do. Dress code is business casual with a relaxed
Friday practice in place.
There are many opportunities for advancement throughout all of Kimball.
These jobs are place in the Kimball Opportunity Program for all
employees to view.
In my 25 years with Kimball, I have had good and bad times. I recently
was going to leave, basically due to non-communication with my
management group. The big change was that we finally did talk and
realized the problem. Changes were made to prevent this from happening
in the future. I have also seen where changes have been made in what we
are doing with other employees so the same problem should not re-occur
with others. I am very pleased to say I am a Kimball International
employee.
