These small acts of recognition drive great amounts of joy and appreciation throughout the office.

Fun fact:

One of our favorite inclusion initiatives in Argentina is the Murciélagos program. This

campaign builds awareness for employees with disabilities in sports. The event began with Murciélagos coaches presenting their message of inclusivity. Then, Stryker employees were given the opportunity to learn more about individuals living with disabilities through a question and answer session. The program concluded with a soccer match with employees blindfolded to simulate the experience a blind person experiences on a daily basis. One of our employees shared, “It was an extraordinary experience, and people valued it a lot.”
