As a global medical devices organisation based in more than 100 countries, the culture that envelops the 18,000 employees of Smith & Nephew is one of belonging and inclusivity which promotes diversity.

Employee inclusive groups within the organisation bring senior management and employees together, representing all levels of inclusivity within the workplace.

The empower group is focused around any employee who is directly impacted by or living with a disability, be it visible or invisible, as well as chronic health conditions or mental health challenges.

Robyn Daniels, Talent Specialist at Smith & Nephew told Disability Connect that it’s not about the position that’s available, but as long as the individual can be supported within the workplace.
