We are working to create an environment where all can belong, grow and thrive… today, tomorrow and for the next 350 years.
Our Global Impact
As part of our ongoing efforts to build belonging and inclusion within our company, we have established a network comprising our 18 major countries. To ensure that our initiatives are tailored to local contexts and needs, we have nominated dedicated representatives in each of these countries.
These representatives have worked closely with our team to develop tailored roadmaps for each country, outlining specific strategies and actions to promote greater belonging and inclusion within our workplaces and communities.
Empathetic leaders connect, listen, inspire and motivate. They are inclusive, self-aware and capable of engaging beyond classic work topics. They take the pulse of the team, understand their needs and make sure they feel heard. They recognize that we all want to work with purpose and we all want to work successfully.
Our Path Forward
As we embark on the next phase of our journey to create a workplace where everyone feels welcome, valued and appreciated, we are committed to being intentional and accountable in building belonging within the organization. We recognize the importance of seeking a wide-range of perspectives and engaging in honest and courageous conversations to deliver the best solutions for our patients, customers and communities. From our senior leaders to our front-line employees, we will model inclusive behaviors.
