Working Toward Gender Parity
Our determination to achieve gender parity is stronger than ever: in 2022 women represented 49% of our overall workforce and 42% of senior management. We’ve transformed our development, recruitment, and succession planning practices to help us get closer to women representing 40% of our executives and 50% of our senior leadership by 2025.
We retooled every step in the hiring process to be more intentional. From inclusive job descriptions to mandated gender representation at final interview selection, we set and incentivized specific targets at executive level to promote gender balance and mobility.
“Leveraging the diversity of our workforce gives us the edge we need to lead with innovation. We’re the #1 healthcare company for gender equality (2), with a plan to ensure women and men are represented equally among our senior leaders by 2025.”
