Diversity, equity & inclusion

Diversity at Johnson & Johnson is about the unique perspective of our employees. It’s about them, their colleagues and the world we care for—all backgrounds, beliefs and the entire range of human experience—coming together. Every person views the world from a unique vantage point; a perspective that gives problem-solving potential ideas, solutions & strategies that, when mobilized, can bring health to billions.

Inclusion at Johnson & Johnson is about creating a deep sense of belonging. It’s about a culture where our employees are valued, ideas are heard, and where we collectively advance this culture for everyone.

We’re committed to creating a culture that allows our employees to change the world without changing themselves. Diversity & Inclusion at Johnson & Johnson means—You Belong.

Our vision: Be yourself—change the world.

Our vision is for every person to use their unique experiences and backgrounds, together—to spark solutions that create a better, healthier world.
