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."
