Bragging Rights<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The world’s largest and most broadly-based healthcare company is working on developing a COVID-19 vaccine, has over 130,000 employees globally, and accomplished $82.1bn in sales last year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To<\/span>p Employer of Chapman Talent <\/span>Johnson and Johnson\u00a0<\/span>(J&J)\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span> well-known as a trusted, established healthcare industry giant globally. While many may know and love the logo, what some may not realize is the immense presence the organization has within California, especially in Orange County. With eight subsidiary centers within driving distance of Chapman University<\/strong> in Southern California, opportunities for Panthers are both diverse and plentiful. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not only is opportunity available, it’s knocking.<\/strong> J&J is an active member of the CEO Leadership Alliance Orange County (CLA-OC)<\/a>, a group committed to developing, supporting, growing, and connecting with emerging local talent. As a part of that commitment, J&J leadership teamed up with Chapman University and CLA-OC to host an interactive event, OC Giants: Thriving at Johnson & Johnson<\/em>. The event provided Chapman students, alumni, and future Panthers (Chapman-speak for high school students)\u00a0 <\/span>with exclusive access to J&J leaders, who shared their personal stories and insights into the company\u2019s mission, work <\/span>culture, and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

J&J’s panel featured senior <\/span>members of<\/span> various s<\/span>ubsidiaries: <\/span>Company<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>G<\/span>roup\u00a0<\/span>C<\/span>hairman<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Schlomi<\/span>\u00a0Nachman<\/span><\/a>, Worldwide President\u00a0<\/span>at <\/span>Mentor\u00a0<\/span>Diane Gomez-Thinnes<\/span><\/a>, Global Head of Human Resources<\/span> for CSS<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Fahmi Nahas<\/span><\/a>, Sr. Finance Director<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Gerianne Sarte<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0and Worldwide President for\u00a0<\/span>J&J\u00a0<\/span>Surgical Vision, Warren Faust<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the presentation, discussion always seemed to circle back to something very special to Johnson & Johnson: the Johnson & Johnson Credo<\/b><\/a>, which first prioritizes customers, then employees, communities, and lastly shareholders when making decisions. <\/span>A cornerstone of the J&J story, leadership attributed their 134-year record of impressive<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>organizational <\/span>growth and\u00a0<\/span>value, both financially and culturally, <\/span>to the company’s customer-centric approach, ultimately driven by \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 their Credo.<\/span><\/p>\n
