Affinity Groups
Johnson & Johnson works to assure that employees have access to forums for idea exchange and action in an effort to better our Company and the world. Affinity groups are voluntary, employee-driven groups that typically focus on a shared interest. These groups provide support and networking opportunities such as mentoring, community outreach, career development and cultural awareness activities.
We have nine active affinity groups within Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies. Collectively, these groups have more than 220 chapters, 84 of which are outside of the U.S., representing close to 10,000 members. Our CEO meets twice a year with group leadership. Our success with our affinity groups and our diversity efforts were acknowledged in 2009 when DiversityInc magazine ranked Johnson & Johnson first on its list of Top 50 Companies for Diversity.
Our affinity groups also help those in need and exemplify Our Credo responsibilities. For instance, our Hispanic Organizations for Leadership and Achievement worked with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to provide eye screening for more than 350 people at the 2009 NCLR convention in Chicago. The screening indentified some life-threatening health issues among participants.
Our African American Leadership Council partnered with our Access2Wellness program to provide education on Access2Wellness at the NAACP and the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged. Our Gay and Lesbian Organization for Business and Leadership has partnered with our supplier diversity team to include lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender suppliers on our list of certified suppliers.
