CONMED'S Diversity Statement
Diversity and the demonstration of Inclusion mean openness: a willingness to seek, understand, and appreciate perspectives different from your own, independent of the topic. Make no mistake, the goal at the onset is simply the demonstrated willingness and capacity to listen, understand, and appreciate varied perspectives on a given topic. A demonstrated commitment to Diversity and Inclusion is vital to CONMED’s success as we seek out individuals who bring their unique differences to our company. To do this, we must demonstrate an openness to discovering new opportunities and new ways of looking at the same problem or challenge.
This diversity of thought is best explored in an environment where we include all people independent of their differences, whether it is gender, race, ethnicity, geography, education, experience, political views, sexual orientation, age, religion, citizenship, national origin, or all the other elements that uniquely make up the fabric of individuals. As important, to truly hear these many unique voices, it is imperative that EVERY individual feels respected and valued so that all can contribute to their highest potential.
As we look at CONMED today and when we talk about diversity and inclusion, the reality is that organizations that have diverse teams and inclusive environments drive higher engagement, better innovation, and increased problem-solving and returns as compared to those that do not. Treating people of all backgrounds fairly and equally is fundamental to a thriving culture based on meritocracy.
Imagine what we could do together . . .
