Henry Schein
You know Henry Schein, that's our corporate name. But do you know about Esther? Every Team Schein Member does. That's because Esther was a founding member of the company. While her husband Henry was the pharmacist, Esther handled the books and drove the company’s culture.
Diversity and Inclusion isn't just a catchphrase here. It's a core value. Esther's contributions to the company were critical and we continue to honor them and her. And because of the foundation that Esther built, we live the values of our organization in every way. We educate our team about bias and equity, have public goals about diversifying our leadership, and provide mentorship and professional development.
We value you for being you. All of you. That's why we have a wellness committee focused on providing holistic support for our employees, addressing topics like work-life balance as an example. We also have a D&I Council focused on driving diversity goals a heavily engaged senior leadership team, including our Board of Directors, and several employee resource groups committed to enhancing our company culture. There's growth opportunity, community, purpose, and an understanding that we all are critical to business success. We think Esther would be pleased with who we are. Come join us and see for yourself.
It was 90 years ago when Henry Schein borrowed $500 to start a corner pharmacy in Queens, New York, nearly 30 miles from Melville, New York, where our corporate headquarters resides today. In the depths of the Great Depression, Henry and his wife Esther made a bold bet on their future all while living their values of helping health happen and caring for their team and the community they served. Their belief paid off far beyond what Henry and Esther might have dared to imagine in 1932. Henry Schein is now a Fortune 500 Company powered by a network of people and technology to be the world’s leading provider of health care products, services and solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners.
Since our founding we have stayed true to Henry and Esther’s values which has allowed us to evolve, expand, and grow our Company. Now serving more than 1 million customers in 32 countries or territories, the Company's network of trusted advisors provides more than 1 million customers globally with more than 300 valued solutions that help improve operational success and clinical outcomes.
We invite you to join our nearly 25,000 Team Schein Members, who are critical to our success and are at the core of our Team Schein Values as our founders would have wanted. We live those values by ensuring that our culture focuses on the wellness of our team, which we accomplish by providing a safe space for individuals to develop and contribute authentically, with opportunities to give back to society and the communities where we live and work.
No matter the role you are seeking, we encourage you to come be a part of a team that makes the world a healthier place.
Henry Schein embraces diversity and is committed to providing equal opportunity to employees and applicants.
Many of our internal cultural initiatives are driven by our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which have transformed the way employees engage both personally and professionally. Specifically, our Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) has influenced some of our most impactful programs. Projects like Paradigm for Parity (P4P), a globalized initiative to reach gender parity at senior leadership levels (Directors and Vice Presidents) by 2030, serve as a great example. The group’s presence has also influenced workplace flexibility, causing us to update our policies on Paid Parental Leave programs and how we can better support new parents overall. WLN, in addition to our other ERGs, and the projects and initiatives derived from the groups help us live out our values.
Our mission is to promote an environment for our Team Schein Members where diversity and inclusion thrives to best support the diversity of our customers, the patients they serve, and society at large.
