I am proud that Johnson & Johnson is a place where DEI is part of what we do. Every day. A more equitable world where everyone can thrive is part of our business imperatives. Looking back at our DEI Impact Review, I realize how far we have come, but also how much there is still to do. It is a good reminder that the commitment to DEI is not just words, but actions and we must to continue to shape and foster a culture where everyone belongs. I do highly recommend to check out the DEI Impact Review via https://lnkd.in/eqxkCqB7 and if you watch the video, you might spot a familiar face 😎 #mycompany #WeAllBelong #DEI #Innovation #Equity

TOPX Network is excited to launch the TOPX Inclusive-3 to honour leaders in Life Sciences (male or female) who work relentlessly to make their own organization and/or the sector more diverse and inclusive. This award recognizes those who have gone above and beyond to foster an inclusive workplace, champion diversity, and make efforts to promote and retain diverse talent. We believe that diversity is crucial to creating a thriving workplace, and we want to acknowledge those who share this belief and actively work towards it. We will offer the Inclusive-3 the stage at the next edition of the TOPX Summit on 18 January 2024 to share their insights, key messages and lessons learned on how to close the gap in life sciences & health. With the TOPX Inclusive-3, we aim to give a stage to people and initiatives that close the gap and improve the inclusivity & diversity in Health & Life Sciences. And by doing so, to inspire more professionals to follow in their footsteps on this path to equality. If you or someone you know have made their organization or the sector more diverse and inclusive with initiatives and results that can inspire others to follow, then nominate them for the TOPX Inclusive-3 by using this link before 15 November: https://lnkd.in/eETj3scj Let's celebrate those who are working to close the gap in Life Sciences & Health!

We are just half way through June, a month for us to celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion…and pride! Pride to be who we are, pride to fight for our rights, pride to be an inspiration for someone, pride to love with no fear. Not only in June, but during all the months, GE HealthCare has been promoting discussions and forums to talk about DE&I and how this topic has been impacting the organizations and our way to make business. I had opportunity to be on some of those conversations and it’s amazing to see this movement and actions impacting people in real life. According to some recent research, diverse companies are healthier, happier and more profitable. Did you know that? So, let’s make our bit! Happy Pride Month! #PrideMonth #GEHealthCare #Diversity #Inclusion
