Boston Scientific is one of the 2022 Best Employers for Diversity. The ranking is based on a survey of 60,000 U.S. employees working for companies with at least 1,000 employees. The respondents rated their own and other organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQ+ status, as well as general diversity. Companies’ representation of women in senior leadership positions, and transparent reporting of diversity-related information were also considered.
Responding to the recognition, Boston Scientific Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer Camille Chang Gilmore said, “We believe having an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives is essential to fostering innovation. By embracing what makes each of us unique, we can achieve the best results for both our employees and the patients we aim to serve.”
This is the fifth consecutive year that Boston Scientific was recognized by Forbes as one of the companies most dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). Knowing that meaningful DE&I progress is an ongoing journey, the company continues to take actions to:
“We cannot innovate to solve healthcare’s toughest challenges with homogenous, status quo thinking,” said Wendy Carruthers, executive vice president, Human Resources at Boston Scientific. “We want people of all cultures, ethnicities, gender identities, backgrounds, experiences, orientations and beliefs to feel they belong so they can be engaged and empowered to share new ideas and diverse perspectives. This is what leads to our greatest breakthroughs.”
¹In 2021, Boston Scientific again reported no statistically significant pay disparity for 99% or greater of employees across gender globally and for multicultural talent¹ in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
