Diversity & Inclusion
Our mission is to extend and enhance human life. The Bristol-Myers Squibb Pledge includes our commitment to foster a globally diverse workforce and a companywide culture that encourages excellence, leadership, innovation and a balance between our personal and professional lives.
Realizing our mission and living our Pledge require us to make every effort to build a diverse and motivated workforce. Diversity of people, thought, perspective and experience is the foundation of our culture and a reflection of our values. To encourage our employees to achieve their potential, we are committed to developing their leadership and professional skills as well as helping them maintain an appropriate balance between their personal and professional lives.
We have been consistently honored for our efforts in these areas, including recognition from the National Association for Female Executives as one of the Top Companies for Executive Women; from Working Mother magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers; and from the Human Rights Campaign, which in 2006, gave us the highest rating in its Corporate Equality Index.
The diversity of our organization -- from our senior leadership through the ranks -- continues to grow. In the United States in 2006, women represented 46 percent of our professional and managerial employees and minorities, 27 percent.
