Diversity

Diversity to me is something that I don't take advantage of. Diversity is something that allows me to see different perspectives and different lifestyles. It allows me to see different ways to solve problems so that they are done more efficiently and safely. Diversity not only applies to just people, but also to products, ethics, wellness of employees. It means a lot to me that a company I could potentially work for also values diversity when it comes to its employees. 

Here are some diversity statements that I have found:

 

Abbott Laboratories

We value our diversity – that of our products, technologies, markets and people – and believe that diverse perspectives combined with shared goals inspire new ideas and better ways of addressing changing health needs.

Smucker’s

We are fair with our employees and maintain an environment that encourages personal responsibility within the Company and the community. In return, we expect our employees to be responsible for not only their individual jobs but for the Company as a whole. We seek employees with integrity who are committed to preserving and enhancing the values and principles inherent in our Basic Beliefs through their own actions.

We firmly believe that:

• Every employee makes a difference.
• Highest quality people produce the highest quality products and services.
• Highest business ethics require the highest personal ethics.
• Responsible people produce exceptional results.

Boston Scientific Mission Statement:
"Boston Scientific's mission is to improve the quality of patient care and the productivity of health care delivery through the development and advocacy of less-invasive medical devices and procedures. This is accomplished through the continuing refinement of existing products and procedures and the investigation and development of new technologies that can reduce risk, trauma, cost, procedure time and the need for aftercare. "

McKesson Medical Mission Statement:
"Our mission is to provide comprehensive pharmacy solutions that improve productivity, profitability and result in superior patient care and satisfaction."

HORMEL FOODS

To ensure an engaging and mutually beneficial environment for the people who make our business possible, we commit to the following:

Safety

• Provide a safe working environment through education, strict audits and the development and use of innovative equipment

Diversity

• Increase diversity among employees and suppliers

Training and Benefits

• Invest in training and professional development programs for employees

Wellness

• Increase employee participation in company wellness initiatives

Code of Ethics

Provide equal opportunity and zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination or other practices that contradict our code of ethical business conduct

These all differ in the sense that they all have statements regarding different things, but they are also similar to each other by stating that they all allow diversity to help them move forward in the business world and keep them fair to the potential workers.I feel that the majority of these statements agree to a certain  extent to what my views are.
