Diversity, equity and inclusion at Stryker

At Stryker, an essential part of our culture has always been respecting each individual’s strengths and value.

Building on this foundation, we continue to create an inclusive, engaging work environment and prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) in keeping with our values of integrity and people.

Our approach to diversity, equity and inclusion

Our diversity strategy calls on us to encourage, value and leverage differences to build an inclusive and engaging work environment, and we continue to integrate this strategy across our efforts to attract, develop and retain a diverse workforce.

Advocating for DE&I, initiating a series of dialogue sessions called “Days of Understanding” with our leaders and encouraging employees to participate in unconscious bias training are just a few ways we are making progress.
