U.S. Diversity & Inclusion
We value diversity at Abbott — in our people, products, technologies and markets. Diversity is a key component of our business strategy, because we know the different perspectives and insights that our employees offer allow us to better understand and connect with the people we serve.
Diversity, Inclusion and Work-Life at Abbott
At Abbott, we believe our diverse workforce is a key component to achieving our business goals - diversity drives innovation, and our workforce needs to provide the diversity of ideas, perspectives and experience necessary to translate science into real solutions for patients. That's why diversity is embedded in our hiring, leadership development, and retention goals. Supported at the top of the organization, our chairman and CEO Miles White, along with Abbott's Executive Inclusion Council, oversees these goals and all of our diversity initiatives.
Our inclusive environment, in turn, helps ensure an engaged, committed and innovative workforce. The tools we offer to help employees succeed at work and at home are as diverse as our people. For instance, a formal, broad-based mentoring program, employee inclusion networks, a comprehensive menu of work-life offerings, and global culture surveys support all employees in reaching their full potential and contributing to Abbott's success.
In addition to creating a vibrant workplace, Abbott's diversity and work-life initiatives have earned the company awards and recognitions including being named to DiversityInc magazine's "50 Best Companies for Diversity," Hispanic Business magazine's "Diversity Elite 60 Top Companies for Hispanics," and Working Mother magazine's "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers."
