Every voice

We believe in the power of diverse backgrounds, talents and perspectives. We want our employees to have a voice and to feel seen, heard and valued. We measure this through engagement surveys and inclusiveness index.

Every story

Listening is key to understanding. At our annual DE&I Summit, our employees share stories and experiences that have shaped who they are – opening the door to honest conversations about our differences and what brings us together.

Every connection

Stryker’s employee resource groups (ERGs) help promote a culture of belonging, providing support and building community among their members and allies, and helping attract and retain top talent. ERG events and communications foster connections and bring awareness to fellow employees throughout the year.
