As a Janssen employee, your rights as an individual are paramount. Whatever your gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation or health or situational needs, we do our upmost to ensure that you feel an included, respected and fulfilled member of the Janssen family.
Our Credo guides how we look after our employees
The values that guide our decision-making at Janssen are spelled out in Our Credo. It’s a document that is key to understanding how we run our business and also how we treat our staff. When it comes to working with Janssen, we believe in the following:
We are responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world. We must provide an inclusive work environment where each person must be considered as an individual. We must respect their diversity and dignity and recognise their merit. They must have a sense of security, fulfilment and purpose in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate and working conditions clean, orderly and safe.
We must support the health and wellbeing of our employees and help them fulfil their family and other personal responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and advancement for those qualified. We must provide highly capable leaders and their actions must be just and ethical.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
At Johnson & Johnson, we strongly believe that diversity is a fact – while inclusion is a choice.
Johnson & Johnson has always recognised and embraced the importance of diverse perspectives. We believe that one of the best ways to understand and meet the needs of our patients and customers is to have a workforce that reflects their diversity.
Janssen is a welcoming place where diverse ideas can flourish, and where we actively encourage employees to be their true, authentic selves.
With our Global Diversity & Inclusion Strategy, we’re taking steps to build the most inclusive environments possible, and thereby maximise the different talents in our company.
Employee Resource Groups
Within Johnson & Johnson, we have several Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in countries across the EMEA region. The idea is to create a company culture of belonging, where open hearts and minds are combined to unleash the potential of the brilliant mix of people we have working with us.
ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that focus on shared identities, affinities and experiences, and that look to apply those perspectives to initiatives that create value for all of Johnson & Johnson.
Different countries have different ERGs. Below you'll find details of some of them, along with examples of how Janssen in Germany is supporting working parents, and Janssen in Switzerland is tackling unconscious biases.
“The BAME ERG is committed to achieving ethnic diversity across our business that is reflective of the population we live and work in. This will enhance our competitive advantage and fuel the future of human health. We strive to create a fully inclusive organisational environment which champions the advancement of all ethnic minorities and creates a safe working place for all.”
