Affinity Groups Promote Idea Exchange

Focusing on shared interests

Initiated and driven by employees, affinity groups add value as they advance their purpose within our companies and in the external community. Each group provides an open forum for idea exchange and action, as well as an opportunity to strengthen linkages to and within our diverse communities.

To become a recognized affinity group, each proposed group must meet a series of criteria, including

Developing a formal group structure
Appointing a steering committee
Defining the group’s proposed key activities

Every affinity group is open to all employees of Johnson & Johnson companies. These groups have created Web sites to disseminate news and information to their members and other employees.

Below is a list of employee affinity groups that exist within the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies.
