Olympus, a leading global medtech company providing innovative solutions for medical and surgical procedures, announced multiple activities in celebration of International Women's Day on March 8. Additionally, the company was recognized by Mogul as one of their 2024 Top 100 Workplaces for Diverse Professionals.
Olympus' global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy was created to further the company's journey of achieving its purpose of "Making people's lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling." DEI is an indispensable strategy to ensure increased organizational capability and sustainability for attracting top talent and informing the diverse needs of our medtech customers and their patients. A key goal of the global DEI strategy is to promote the advancement of women in managerial roles throughout the organization.
International Women's Day is about empowerment, collaboration, and progress. By participating in these events, Olympus women are demonstrating, to internal and external audiences, a commitment to fostering an inclusive culture where women have equal opportunities to excel and creating the employee resources needed for women to develop and further their careers within the company.
"Having women in leadership roles and throughout the workforce helps provide different perspectives contributing to our ability to bring innovation and solutions to market," said Stacey Morey, Vice President of Human Resources, Olympus Corporation of the Americas. "Whether that means ergonomic advancements in our latest endoscopy system and surgical energy instruments to better meet the needs of physicians, or wellness programs that address issues like balancing work and life, women in our company are creating solutions that help strengthen Olympus as a leading MedTech company and as a valuable community resource."
Olympus learned in early March that it was receiving the prestigious 2024 Top 100 Workplaces for Diverse Professionals from Mogul, a global mobile app and online social platform. Mogul has issued DEI-oriented lists since 2018. Mogul created the Diverse Professionals list based on factors including: 1) commitment to DEI in hiring practices; 2) significant strides in creating inclusive environments, 3) impact of the DEI efforts on internal and external communities.
