Boston Scientific has been named a leader in diversity by Financial Times. What does DE&I mean to you?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are a core focus of Boston Scientific, and they have most recently won the Financial Times award for being a leader in diversity and best place to work for disability inclusion by Disability Quality Index, so a question related to this topic is very possible. In your response, demonstrate that you understand the meaning of each (DE&I) aspect and speak honestly about what it means to you on a personal and professional level. If you have received corporate or more formal training in this area, be sure to speak about that experience and how it's impacted you.
"A diverse team comprises individuals of different genders, ethnicities, educations, backgrounds, and experiences. Equity means that everyone on that team is treated fairly and given equal opportunities in the workplace. Inclusion means that everyone is welcome and should feel safe to express their concerns and ideas. DE&I is important to me because everyone should feel a sense of belonging at work. More creative and innovative ideas are born when people from different backgrounds and experiences come together."
"I'm passionate about DE&I and have earned two certifications this year relating to this topic. A diverse team produces more unique ideas and viewpoints, and those different perspectives help achieve our common goals. It's important to me that everyone feels a sense of belonging and safety in the workplace."
