President and CEO Andrew Cogan appeared on Bloomberg Daybreak: Americas to discuss trends in workplace design and Knoll’s strategy in a competitive global marketplace.

Mr. Cogan commented on the impact of a tightening labor market and the growing importance of the workplace environment in attracting talent across industries.

“As employment gets tighter, the workplace is becoming a bigger part of what companies are using as a tool to recruit workers. There is clearly an increasing investment in workplaces,” Mr. Cogan said.

“The trend toward more social and collaborative environments plays to Knoll’s strengths. We have experience both in how people live and work,” he added.

Mr. Cogan also commented on the company’s growing strengths and improving margins. Knoll reported its first quarter 2018 results on April 25.
