The Johnson & Johnson Hispanic Organization for Leadership and Achievement (HOLA) was also named a Top 10 employee resource group (ERG) for their impact in career outcomes and overall diversity accomplishments through corporate leadership, mentorship, and community involvement. This is the third time HOLA has received this honor from LATINAStyle.

Wanda Hope, chief diversity officer shared “we believe every experience and every point of view has value; that’s why diversity is a part of how we work at Johnson & Johnson. We know that having strategic, impactful activities from our ERGs, such as HOLA, is a key factor in helping us achieve our D&I and business goals.”
