Going beyond first impressions: A Social Experiment
Sixteen Johnson & Johnson employees participated in a social experiment as part of the new Unconscious Bias campaign to find out how biases might cloud our impression of people surrounding us at work. But see for yourself.
Our Strategic Pillars
The global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy has three pillars that reflect the strategic priorities we have made to enable the company to address the challenges and opportunities presented by our diverse world.
Advance our culture of inclusion and innovation
We know that the best ideas, the best solutions, happen when people bring their uniqueness to work with them. Inclusion is an integral part of how we leverage that uniqueness into our company. That’s why we foster a culture of belonging and breakthroughs at Johnson & Johnson.
Build a diverse workforce for the future
We understand that one of the most effective ways of understanding and meeting the needs and desires of our diverse customers and patients is to have a workforce that reflects diversity.
Enhance business results and reputation
Understanding and serving the needs of diverse patients and customers is simply the way we all must operate to drive innovation and growth and continue to be a thriving and sustainable business.
We embed diversity & inclusion in our businesses, promote equal access to opportunity for all our employees and hold our leaders accountable for all members of their teams.
