Why It's on the Top 50: With strong Corporate Communications and Human Capital, Johnson & Johnson has been moving up the list.
Diversity Strengths: The company has strong employee groups, which it calls affinity groups, and some have been active for more than 10 years. The Women's Leadership Initiative is more than 13 years old with more than 100 chapters outside of the United States. Last year, the company held three women-of-color/multicultural leadership programs and has three men-of-color/multicultural leadership programs scheduled for this year.
In 2007, Johnson & Johnson held its first Global Diversity Summit, with more than 400 worldwide participants. The first Global Recognition Program for Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices included winners from many locations outside the United States, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Russia and Brazil. In addition, Chairman and CEO Bill Weldon's video and e-mail stressing the importance of diversity to the business was circulated to employees worldwide.
The company's board of directors has a Black, Asian and Latino member, making it 24 percent non-white, compared with a Top 50 average of 19 percent.
Johnson & Johnson has excellent work/life benefits, including six onsite childcare centers, extensive eldercare services and flexible work arrangements.
Chairman and CEO William C. Weldon: "Our commitment to diversity and inclusion helps us drive sustainable, superior business results. The different perspectives, thoughts, skills, backgrounds and experiences of our employees across our worldwide organization promote the exchange of ideas, encourage collaboration and inspire innovation. These perspectives enhance our ability to deliver products and services to advance the health and well-being of people throughout the world."
Vice President and Chief Global Diversity Officer JoAnn Heffernan Heisen: "At Johnson & Johnson, we transmit our principles of dignity and respect to all employees around the world through the shared values in Our Credo. Since 1943, Our Credo has served as the guiding philosophy of our family of companies worldwide. Our Credo states that we are responsible to our employees throughout the world, and must consider everyone as an individual, respect their dignity and recognize their merit."
