Headquartered in Poulsbo, WA, Watson Furniture Group stands tall as an industry-leading commercial furniture manufacturer and a welcoming employer for veterans. Whether they're transitioning to civilian life or have been seeking a more fitting role long after completing their service, Watson offers a supportive environment that understands and celebrates the dedication, unique skills, and quality of character veterans bring to the table. It's a point of pride for Watson that its offices and production floor echo with the experiences of veterans from all branches of service - be it the Navy, Air Force, Marines, Army, or the National Guard. With over 234 cumulative years of service across various departments, from administration to production, Watson’s veteran community is diverse, dynamic, and deeply intertwined with the heart of the company. The ethos of Watson aligns remarkably well with the values instilled in military personnel: camaraderie, service, mutual respect, responsibility, and unwavering commitment. This synergy creates a workspace where veterans can find common ground with their civilian peers and experience a sense of belonging rarely found elsewhere. Rin, an Army veteran now integral to Watson's quality control team, sums it up aptly: “Veterans will always feel welcome at Watson because it operates under the same banner of opportunity, with the opportunities to grow in knowledge and skills with different trades and jobs. Here, we can adjust based on learning and interests.” Fostering individual growth is vital to Watson’s efforts to create a workplace that nurtures a culture that supports its workforce. Such a culture doesn’t just happen by chance; it’s intentionally cultivated. For many veterans, reintegrating into civilian life can be challenging. However, the presence of like-minded individuals who've walked the same path helps ease this transition. Criss, who served in the Army and now plays a pivotal role in Watson’s steel assembly unit, points out, “There’s a lot of other veterans here, so we have similar backgrounds and stories. It makes it easier to associate with others.” Shared experience and mutual understanding are important factors that help individuals comfortably connect and feel a sense of belonging. Notably, the connection between Watson and the armed services is more than just at the grassroots level. Watson's leadership also has military experience within its ranks. The company’s president, CK McKenzie, is a proud Marine Corps veteran and still serves in the reserves. For McKenzie, the invaluable leadership training he garnered during his service isn't just a part of his past; it’s a guiding beacon for his present and future. "The lessons from my service shape my decisions every day," McKenzie asserts. "In being a leader at Watson, I lean heavily on my military experience, ensuring our decisions resonate with respect and gratitude for the collective efforts of our entire team and do justice to each person’s individual contributions." Such a commitment to service leadership is seamlessly woven into the very fabric of Watson's core principles and organizational structure. Karen, who currently works as a product configuration specialist and who served in the Navy, had this to say when asked about Watson’s veteran culture: “It is a joy to work with fellow veterans, as they not only bring to the work environment an understanding of procedural compliance and mission accomplishment but also a sense of unit camaraderie and esprit de corps.” Watson Furniture’s commitment to its veteran workforce is a testament to its broader mission: creating an environment where every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued, heard, and empowered. This Veterans Day, Watson would like to celebrate all veterans and thank them for their service.
