Business Resource Groups

Our Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are an important component of creating an inclusive culture. These employee-run affinity groups provide a space to strengthen relationships, network, and drive multicultural education. Our BRGs support the recruitment, engagement and development of our employees across Baxter.
I&D: Our Focus Areas
You belong here. Inclusion and diversity enhance our culture and drive our ability to save and sustain lives—across all the spaces we live and work.
Increasing the diversity of our workforce improves the way we think, innovate, and makes us more agile. We pride ourselves on our inclusive candidate attraction and talent management strategy. Our processes and approach are designed to mitigate unconscious biases and improve access to employment and career development for all individuals—regardless of race, gender, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military or veteran status.
Advancing our culture of inclusion goes hand in hand with our ability to cultivate a diverse workforce. Having courageous conversations, creating forums for listening, respecting differences and checking our biases are at our core. We focus on equity in our policies, programs, processes and systems to ensure a culture of respect and collaboration. When employees feel they can truly belong and can bring their whole selves to work every day, they can realize their career aspirations and help Baxter to fully deliver on our mission.
A critical component of our overall inclusion & diversity strategy is our focus on supplier diversity and our philanthropic efforts to improve access to care in underserved communities. We are particularly focused on elevating our level of investment in advancing racial justice and equity in our communities by increasing the spend with minority business enterprises and driving advocacy efforts in partnership with community organizations.
Increasing our awareness of health disparities in underserved communities and extending access and utilization of our products, therapies and resources to these groups is at the core of our marketplace inclusion strategy. We strive to adopt inclusive product and therapy design from concept to launch and enhance our engagement with healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers and other stakeholders.
