WHIPPANY, NJ – March 15, 2024 - Bayer, a global leader in healthcare and agriculture, is recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity for the second consecutive year by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. The award highlights organizations across the United States prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within their workforce, and its preliminary survey of 220,000+ individuals included representation at over 1.5 million companies.
At the heart of Bayer's mission is a commitment to improve the lives of all Americans by addressing their unmet health and nutrition needs. A critical way Bayer will achieve Health for all, Hunger for none is by creating a culture where all employees feel respected and supported.
We’re incredibly proud to be recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. At Bayer, diversity is a moral and strategic imperative; we stand firm in our belief that employees from diverse backgrounds will fuel our innovation pipeline to address the planet’s health and nutrition needs.
Bayer's DE&I initiatives encompass programs and policies to promote diversity and inclusion at all levels of the organization. These efforts include recruitment strategies for underrepresented talent through partnerships with organizations such as LAGRANT and MANRRs as well as HBCUs. Additionally, Bayer’s nine Business Resource Groups provide meaningful insights and help drive business strategy, while providing leadership development programs, and training for employees to understand the importance of cultivating diverse perspectives.
Through Bayer Fund, the philanthropic arm of Bayer in the United States, we drive diversity within the communities we operate. Since the program's inception, we’ve awarded over $13.4 million to over 2,700 charitable and nonprofit organizations to help address essential needs in Food and Nutrition, STEM Education, and Health & Wellness.
