Our Culture

We demonstrate our company purpose by Creating Quality for Life for our people through a respectful and rewarding company culture that encourages meaningful work, as well as for our communities through our positive societal impacts.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
As a human-centered company focused on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B), we promote multiple “heritage” days and months by giving employees the option to participate in virtual events to encourage openness to others and learning new insights. In fiscal year 2022, our events featured coworkers and external experts sharing their life stories during Black History Month, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and International Women’s Day. We encourage our people to network with peers and share ideas for future event topics that will further build a sense of belonging for everyone in our global company.

“Thank you for showing support of Asian Americans during this month. I’m impressed your company has three different AAPI Heritage Month Events. It’s amazing.”

Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity
In April 2022, our Indianapolis team volunteered part of its day doing panel and frame work for a Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity project. “A lot of employees said they couldn’t believe we did this and that they have not been with a company in the past that would do something like this,” says HR Manager Amy Mancini.

“One way we live up to our People Guiding Principles is through annual, onsite health screenings coordinated with a local hospital. This helps employees understand their own health status and, if needed, leads them to get timely treatment.”

Creating Quality for Life
To further support our company purpose of Creating Quality for Life within the communities in which we operate, Kimball Electronics committed $100,000 to the Southwestern Indiana Child Advocacy Center Coalition’s (SWICACC) $1.1 million capital campaign. “SWICACC directly touches the lives of many in our community by protecting children who face abuse. They support a vital, direct human need. It’s an honor to partner with them,” said Jana Croom, Chief Financial Officer, Kimball Electronics. SWICACC Director Tammy Lampert commented, “Community support is imperative for a project of this magnitude. We are beyond grateful not only for this gracious contribution, but also that Kimball Electronics sees this need and shares our vision to create a better future for our youth. Our new center will positively impact Southern Indiana’s generations to come.”

Guiding Principles
Each year, employees around the world rate us on how well we are living up to the company culture we strive to provide as defined by the elements within our Guiding Principles. The most recent results tell us that the vast majority of our employees would recommend Kimball Electronics to friends and family as a strong employer with which to seek a career; that our people feel a personal connection to our company’s purpose statement, Creating Quality for Life; and that our company is improving when it comes to creating a sense of belonging through our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

“The psychological safety of our people must be taken just as seriously as their physical safety. We are striving to create a culture in which employees are comfortable stepping out of their own safety zone to talk about their own feelings related to stress and mental health.”
