Why Paoli?

It's about the people.  Our success depends on your success.

HNI Member-Owner Culture

Paoli is one of the many operating companies of HNI Corporation, and we believe that our ability to accomplish what we set out to do is based on hiring the best and the brightest people.  Without talented people like you, HNI wouldn't be the strong performer that it is today.  From the beginning, we have called each other "members".  We have a unique and powerful member-owner culture; every member has the opportunity to participate in making our business better and regular members share in the company's success through HNI's profit-sharing program.  At HNI, you'll find a commitment to treating each other, our customers, suppliers, shareholders, and community with fairness and respect.

Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI)

In order to build a strong business, HNI Corporation and Paoli operate with an attitude of constructive discontent.  We're proud of our accomplishments, but we are always striving to improve.  Our Rapid Continuous Improvement (RCI) program is our way of conducting business.  It builds advancement and quality into everything we do.

Diversity at HNI

HNI has a strong commitment to celebrating and strengthening diversity.  All of the ways in which we differ - race, gender, age, sexual orientation, language, disability, nationality, and many other differences - provide us with a deep source of ideas and renew our potential for profitable growth.
