“Black History Month is a time to celebrate the deep legacy, achievements, and impact of Black individuals who have shaped history and continue to influence the world.” - Maria Baker MSHRM, CCC   As co-president of Kohler’s BLK Catalyst business resource group, Maria works to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment, promote professional development opportunities, and grow membership across our global locations. All in addition to her “day job” as Early Talent Program Manager, where she extends her skills and passions to attract, develop, and retain the best young talent.   At Kohler, business resource groups, including BLK Catalyst, are open to all associates and provide an important place for members and allies to share experiences and build community.   “When I first joined Kohler, I quickly found a sense of family when I attended my first BLK Catalyst meeting,” said Maria. “Being new, it was a great way for me to connect with other associates and it also deepened my appreciation for my own work.”   Over the past three and a half years, her involvement grew, first on the Membership Relations Committee, then Chair of that committee, and now co-President of BLK Catalyst—as well as a member of Women@Work and Kohler PROUD.   “I am proud of the cultural awareness and sense of belonging our business resource groups provide as we create opportunities for our members to grow, connect, and make an impact,” added Maria. “This Black History Month, and always, we commit to shaping a future where Black voices, contributions, and stories are valued every day.” #BlackHistoryMonth #AltogetherKohler #BecomeMoreAtKohler

This #NationalCaregiversDay, we celebrate the selfless individuals who provide personal care and emotional support for family and loved ones. 🫶   In honor of the occasion, our Parents and Caregivers of Kohler (PACK) business resource group hosted a panel discussion, “Leading at Work, Caring at Home.” Kohler leaders Megan Belcher, Norbert Schmidt, Carrie Seymour, and Ashley Kohler shared their personal caregiving journeys with associates around the world.   “Caregiving is an incredibly rich experience, but it can also be complicated sometimes,” said Ashley. “Having strategies in place, like working with great people and in supportive cultures, is so important.”   At Kohler, we recognize the value that caregiving can bring to your career—a sense of unwavering commitment and compassion that makes a significant impact both at home and at work.   “Being a caregiver has made me a better leader and given me appreciation for the power of empathy in an organization, particularly as it navigates change,” said Megan.   “I’ve learned a lot about multitasking and personal and professional discipline,” added Norb. “And it’s so important that we can be that support system for each other and be authentic and real.”   #BecomeMoreAtKohler #AltogetherKohler

Anyone who’s visited our global headquarters in Kohler, Wisconsin, has experienced its unique charm—from quaint homes to picturesque gardens to historic buildings. And at the center of it all stands the distinguished Main Office, celebrating it’s 100th anniversary this year. The red brick Main Office opened in 1925 after a yearlong construction and has welcomed thousands of Kohler associates over the past century. It is home to the iconic clocktower, manufactured by the historic Seth Thomas Clock Company, and the accompanying 2,000-pound bronze bell which strikes the hour, sounding the time for the past several generations. Inside, hand-painted murals by artist Arthur Covey adorn the walls of the lobby. Installed in 1925, these one-of-a-kind pieces have been meticulously restored to their near-original splendor. The Main Office has stood the test of time and continues to serve as a centerpiece to the Village of Kohler, the Kohler Co. Wisconsin campus, and our global company headquarters. 💫 🕰️
