Diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging
At Organon, belonging is the core of our diversity, equity, and inclusion. We aspire to be a company where all employees feel they belong so they can be engaged and empowered to share new ideas, diverse perspectives, and be their authentic selves in the workplace.
Organon's Chief Human Resources Officer, Aaron Falcione, and Head of Talent & Diversity, Iris Melendez, reflect on why Organon chose to include belonging as one of our core values.
A sense of belonging
Belonging is a basic human need.
Belonging is when you can find acceptance within a community, without having to change who you are.
When you feel connected to others, especially during painful times, you know that you are not alone.
Belonging improves motivation, happiness, productivity and health. If we believe in health, we must believe in and aspire to belonging.
Organon’s DEI&B commitment
At Organon, we are guided by our mission to deliver impactful medicines and solutions for a healthier every day for every woman. Our commitment to DEI&B means taking steps for our employees and for the patients and customers we serve to build a more diverse and inclusive future. Our commitment and actions connect with our dedication to advancing gender equity inside and outside Organon.
DEI&B education
Organon is a growing company with immense possibilities. We provide a broad range of transformational learning and development opportunities that offer current thinking and best practices for building and working in inclusive cultures.
