Music can define an attitude, inspire action, and push us to the finish line. Music, in essence, can be a background force to help you meet the moment.

Whether revving up for the workday, churning through your inbox, tackling the newest challenge at hand, or winding down on a long evening run, music has the power to motivate and inspire us. 

Milliken associates are staying motivated and finding inspiration through the songs they listen to in the background of everyday life. We asked associates spanning global leadership, product design, diversity and inclusion, and operational excellence, which songs and artists were inspiring them as they strive to meet the moment. 

This is what they shared. We call it an Innovation Playlist. 

We invite you to listen to this Spotify playlist as you power through your day and meet the moment with us. 

Many thanks to Craig Haydamack, Chief Human Resource Officer; Bethany Smith, Vice President of Human Resources for Corporate Support and Healthcare; Jeremy Graham, Vice President Human Resources for Milliken Europe; Ricaye Harris, Milliken Director of Diversity & Inclusion; Meghan Patel, Business Supply Chain & Continuous Improvement Leader; and Holly Nguyen, Milliken Flooring Designer, for sharing songs for this post.
