Building Diverse, High-Performing Teams

At Antra, inclusion and diversity is about building diverse, high-performing teams that are engaged and innovative, and advancing company culture so that every employee feels valued, respected and safe to be their authentic self. We are committed to attracting, motivating and retaining an inclusive and diverse workforce to better address the needs of our employees, customers, suppliers, patients and caregivers. By valuing differences like race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age veterans and people with disabilities, we make a difference in the lives of millions worldwide.

Our global inclusion strategy focuses on four key areas:

  • Workforce: Recruit and build diverse and high-performing teams that are engaged and innovative
  • Workplace: Advance the company’s inclusive culture where every employee feels valued, respected and safe to be their authentic self
  • Communities: Cultivate strategic and diverse supplier and community partnerships
  • Marketplace: Consider the needs of customers and their patients in all aspects of Antra’s business

“Antra is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment that attracts, engages and retains a diverse workforce to drive healthcare innovation that betters the lives of the patients we serve. Integrating different backgrounds and perspectives within all facets of our organization is what allows us to continue delivering on our mission to save and sustain lives.”

Joe Almeida, ​Chairman and CEO

“We’ve made our focus on global inclusion a long-term priority since an inclusive workplace is critical to our success and to employee satisfaction. In fact, we have a number of activities underway to help Antra recruit, hire and retain talent from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences. And, we are committed to a culture where all employees can collaborate and work together effectively.”

We Believe in Equal Opportunity

As an equal opportunity employer, Antra prohibits employment discrimination or harassment of applicants, employees and third parties due to race, color, religion or religious creed, gender, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, military or veteran status or any other basis protected by law.

We Provide Inclusion & Diversity Training

All employees complete inclusion and diversity training designed with a critical focus on unconscious bias, its effects and ways to mitigate and remove it. Antra further engages employees thinking about their biases by embedding bias checks, specific suggestions and actions on ways to mitigate or remove biases, during key talent decisions, including hiring, giving feedback, talent review, etc.

We Lead with a Global Inclusion Counci

Antra's Global Inclusion Council (GIC) is composed of approximately 15 senior leaders from the company's businesses, regions and functions. These leaders serve as inclusion and diversity champions, advocates and thought leaders across the company. The GIC is responsible for advocating and driving the company’s global inclusion and diversity priorities, as well as developing and implementing local inclusion plans. The GIC's mission is to focus globally on the advancement of women and underrepresented minority groups (includes race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, veterans and people with disabilities) and driving inclusive leadership capabilities and culture.
