Our Re-Invent Program is perfect for experienced professionals looking to return to work after a break. They get to develop transferrable skills, build confidence and networks, and we get the benefit of experienced professionals sharing new and diverse perspectives.

The Re-Invent Program provides a unique career opportunity for both employee and employer. It enables re-integration into the workforce through a highly structured program of acculturation, sponsorship, and position assignment. The organization benefits from the skills, capabilities, diverse ideas, and perspectives to positively drive business outcomes.
Paula Alston, Associate Vice President, Engineering - Global Workplace & Enterprise Services
Our Re-Invent Program is a win for all. Professionals who are re-entering the workforce re-integrate in a supportive environment, developing new capabilities while sharpening familiar ones. And this re-entry allows them to re-imagine themselves in the workplace. We get the benefit of their diversity in the form of their perspectives, experiences, skills, and insights. And this situation creates wins for patients and our business.

Salima's successful comeback
Salima returned to the workforce 12 years ago, after a five-year career break to raise a family. Having graduated with a BS degree in Genetic Engineering, she landed her first job as a biochemist with us back in 2002. In addition to the immeasurable experience and skills that come with raising three young children, Salima picked up a range of transferrable skills during her break. Today, she is back with us and is currently an Associate Director in Global Supplier Quality Management. She also played a key role in helping us shape our Re-Invent Program.

Insights from returners and hiring managers
After spending over a decade at this company, life took me and my family in a different and unexpected direction. For a time, I stepped away from the company and the work that I loved, pursuing a completely different calling in my life. I eventually re-entered the workforce here after a six-year break. When I came back, I found our company to be even more welcoming to me, a "returner." What's more, my time and experience away from the company was seen as an asset—a welcome part of my personal and employment story. Today, I'm proud to be associated with Re-Invent, helping to shape an exciting program that will help others confidently return to our workforce.
Tim Shultz, Associate Director - Global Technical Operations
Sterile & Validation Center of Excellence
Twelve years ago, I decided to re-enter the workforce after a five-year gap. At first, I was uncertain about the support I would receive from my non-traditional career path, but I found that acceptance here. Today, I have the privilege to help shape our first returnship program and ensure that we set ourselves up to be successful in supporting those who are also ready to return.
