Work and life don’t always follow a schedule and at Stryker, we understand the importance of flexibility. Our four work models (remote, hybrid, on-site and field-based) support a range of roles, lifestyles and locations.

4. We support employees from day one

Our benefits and rewards are built to make a meaningful difference. While offerings vary by country, they may include performance bonuses, retirement plans, health coverage, paid time off, wellness resources, tuition reimbursement and more. We aim to support every employee in ways that matter at work and in life.

5. We foster inclusion through connection

At Stryker, we believe inclusion starts with connection and that when employees feel a sense of belonging, they’re more engaged and empowered to contribute.

Our commitment to making healthcare better extends beyond the workplace. Through giving and volunteering, our employees help strengthen communities around the world. With a focus on advancing healthcare, supporting education, improving environmental health and enriching community culture, we’re contributing to a healthier, more connected world. Stryker’s Impact platform makes it easy for employees to support causes they care about, amplifying their efforts through donation matching and global volunteer opportunities.

7. We celebrate wins

At Stryker, recognition is more than a moment, it’s how we reinforce what matters. Whether it’s a global award, a team shoutout or a quick thank-you, we take time to acknowledge the effort and impact behind the work. Our culture of appreciation is one reason we’ve been recognized as one of the World’s Best Workplaces, but what matters most is how our people show up for each other every day.

8. We protect the planet for the future

At Stryker, making healthcare better goes hand in hand with caring for the world around us. We’re taking action reducing carbon emissions, expanding renewable energy use, designing sustainable products and rethinking waste.
