Our Committment to Women For Over 130 Years.
1886 - Johnson & Johnson launched in 1886 with 14 employees; eight of them were women.
Today, 43% of management positions in the U.S. are held by women , and we have grown to build a workforce that is nearly 50% female today. Every day, women play leading roles throughout our company and help power us forward toward healthier tomorrows. Visit Johnson & Johnson’s virtual museum to learn more.
1890 - Into the early 20th century, as the company rapidly grew, so did the roles of women employees. They took on new leadership positions and carved out their own spaces for professional growth at a time when opportunities for women were extremely limited.
1907 - A group of female Johnson & Johnson employees launched the Laurel Club to create a space for professional development, wellness, and community service.
1908 -While some women became supervisors, others took office jobs and research positions. Among them was trained chemist Edith von Kuster, who, in 1908, became the company’s first woman scientist. She worked under the leadership of Scientific Director Fred Kilmer.
1910 - And by the early 1910s, women led a quarter of Johnson & Johnson’s departments.
Today, the company provides a minimum of eight weeks of parental leave for mothers and fathers across the world.
In addition to supporting women employees as mothers, Johnson & Johnson is dedicated to advancing and retaining future generations of women leaders.
Across the world, the company is striving to provide women in underserved communities with medical care and education to ensure they can be productive members of society and support their families.
For over 130 years, Johnson & Johnson has been committed to supporting women as employees, patients, and consumers, giving them the tools to succeed in the workplace and beyond.

“At Johnson & Johnson, we have long championed policies that provide flexibility for our employees to balance personal and professional responsibilities. Faced with a global pandemic, we lived up to our commitment and incorporated more opportunities for flexibility in when, where and how we work, allowing for open dialogue about the changing schedule needs of employees, especially working parents. Supporting employees’ total health has always been one of our top priorities. We continue to create an environment where our employees and their families have access to an ecosystem of resources to help them proactively build resilience, manage stress and anxiety, and develop skills to adapt and thrive in the midst of change, which was especially important during the pandemic. Through updates to our digital health platform and access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and WorkLife Services and new mental well-being trainings, we educate and empower employees and their families to prioritize their mental well-being and support their colleagues to do the same."
