Japan Stryker's Remarkable Achievement in Employee Satisfaction
Japan Stryker Corporation has once again made its mark by being selected for the 2026 version of the 'Great Place To Work® Best Companies in Japan' ranking. This achievement is particularly noteworthy, as it marks the ninth consecutive year that the company has been featured in this esteemed list. Notably, it stands out as the only company from the medical device sector to be recognized in this ranking, underlining Stryker's commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture within its industry.
The 'Best Companies' ranking is published annually based on the results of a comprehensive employee engagement survey conducted by the Great Place To Work® Institute globally. In Japan, the organization operates under the auspices of GPTW Japan, which analyzes and evaluates the survey results using a unique participatory model to identify the top 100 companies that stand out as great workplaces based on employee feedback.
Japan Stryker's Commitment to Employees
At the heart of Japan Stryker's mission is the commitment to elevate healthcare by partnering closely with medical professionals. The company strives to deliver innovation in healthcare settings, focusing not only on continuous business growth but also on creating an environment where each employee can take pride and find fulfillment in their work.
To further enhance employee experience, Japan Stryker is set to relocate and expand its headquarters in April 2025. This move aims to create a more conducive work environment for its employees, including the establishment of a showroom to showcase core products, as well as workshop rooms designed for stakeholder engagement. By allowing direct interaction with the corporate brand, Stryker aims to gain genuine feedback and enthusiasm from those they serve.
During this phase of business expansion, the company has fostered a culture named 'One Stryker', which emphasizes collaboration across divisions. This cultural initiative has contributed to a significant increase in the sense of solidarity among employees, as evidenced by improved ratings in the 'sense of community' category of the GPTW assessment. The stronger sense of engagement indicates a thriving workplace where individuals feel connected and valued.
