Johnson & Johnson recognised as a Top Employer 2021 in South Africa

The 2021 Top Employers have been announced and as a first-time participant, Johnson & Johnson has been recognised as a Top Employer in South Africa. Additionally, the Company has been ranked as an Industry Leader in Healthcare in the 2021 Top Employers Certification programme in South Africa.

Being certified as a Top Employer showcases an organisation’s dedication to a better world of work and exhibits this through excellent HR policies and people practices.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers 6 HR domains consisting of 20 topics such as People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Well-being and Diversity & Inclusion and more.

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe good health is the foundation of vibrant lives, thriving communities and forward progress. That’s why for more than 130 years, we have aimed to keep people well at every age and every stage of life. Today, as the world’s largest and most broadly based healthcare company, we are committed to using our reach and size for good. We strive to improve access and affordability, create healthier communities, and put a healthy mind, body and environment within reach of everyone, everywhere.

Every day, our more than 130,000 employees across the world are blending heart, science and ingenuity to profoundly change the trajectory of health for humanity.

“This important recognition and certification by the Top Employers Institute acknowledges our ongoing commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive and innovative working environment where employees have exciting development opportunities and can bring their diverse experience, skillset and ideas to work, every day”, says Loes Bresseleers, Head of Human Resources Johnson & Johnson South Africa. “It also highlights our commitment to equal opportunities, community impact and advocating for a healthy work-life blend, thereby strengthening our ability to attract, develop and retain talent.”

Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Despite the challenging year we have experienced (which has certainly made an impact on organisations around the globe), Johnson & Johnson has continued to demonstrate the power of putting their people first in the workplace. We are proud to share this year’s announcement and congratulate the organisations who have been certified in their respective countries through the Top Employers Institute programme.”
