With more than 15,000 employees across 40 countries and over 50 languages spoken, our global diversity is a fundamental part of who we are.
Celebrating individual backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives not only strengthens our culture and the level of respect we expect our employees to demonstrate with each other — it drives innovation, engagement, and better business outcomes. The goal? Creating an environment where every employee's voice matters.
Our employee engagement survey results have proven it: employees who feel seen, heard, and valued are better equipped to grow personally and professionally. So, we strive to create an inclusive working environment where everyone is encouraged to utilize their unique voice and motivated to do their best work.
As part of our sustainability strategy, BEYOND: Taking Action for a Brighter World, we support and empower our colleagues to respect and value global diversity and inclusivity for all, creating a culture that encourages continuous learning and relentless focus on our customers
Our commitment to inclusion and engagement has earned recognition from several leading organizations. Dentsply Sirona has been named one of America's Most Responsible Companies 2025 by Newsweek and Statista, and among America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity 2025 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. We've received the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Award for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and been honored as an Employee Voice Award DE&I Pioneer by Quantum Workplace for leadership in DEI strategy. Dentsply Sirona Italy also renewed its UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification from Bureau Veritas in 2025, achieving 100% compliance.
These awards reflect our ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace, where every team member can contribute to advancing dental innovation.
In line with our sustainability strategy BEYOND, we support and empower our colleagues to create a workforce that respects and values global diversity and equitable treatment for all employees.
Every year throughout May (since 2021), we celebrate Inclusion Month to create awareness for our company's global diversity and cultural richness.
Each celebration has a focus topic, such as “inspiring inclusion across cultures” (2024), “diversity is our superpower” (2023), and “allyship” (2021 and 2022). We aim to bring teams together through engagement activities and local activations.
Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring employees together to connect, learn, and grow, fostering community, inclusion, and impact.
This group of Global ERG & Inclusion Ambassadors, representing diverse demographics, functions, and geographies, meets regularly to align on enterprise-wide strategies that strengthen inclusion and engagement. Together, they help ensure every employee is supported and empowered to perform at their highest potential.
Top priorities:
Every employee has the opportunity to learn, grow, and shape their own development journey. Our learning ecosystem includes a robust library of on-demand courses, bite-sized microlearning, and real-world stretch opportunities that build future-ready skills.
We also cultivate cultural awareness through optional learning experiences and interactive live events that bring our values to life.
Dentsply Sirona has a long-standing commitment to creating a workplace that is truly welcoming and inclusive — one that celebrates our global diversity and the cultural vibrancy that strengthens who we are.
With that in mind, we have established lasting partnerships with organizations such as Women in DSO® and the National Dental Association (NDA) to support a more diverse and inclusive dental industry.
“I am grateful to know that we, as an organization, are continually striving to make Dentsply Sirona better. Our employee resource groups have shaped my journey; they've helped me grow, lead, and feel part of a community that truly makes a difference.”
Lisia Malcolm | Territory Manager, Consumables
