Diversity & Inclusion2014 annual report
“I firmly believe that a diverse workforce, in all of its forms and fashions, is critical to us. I think getting different ideas, different ways for thinking and different ways of approaching problems, and representing the customers we serve are all important.”

PeopleAt CareFusion, we make a difference by improving the safety and cost of healthcare for generations to
come. Without dedicated and diverse employees fostered by an inclusive workforce, we could not achieve
our mission.
Through various initiatives including our diversity and inclusion strategy, Diversity Council, employee
resources groups (ERGs) and community partnerships, we offer resources that employees need to do
their jobs effectively. Our initiatives also help them achieve a positive work/life balance while supporting
their communities.
We pride ourselves on our culture—one that defines who we are and how we work together. We believe
our business thrives on the diverse perspectives of a global workforce. We respect the individuality of every
employee and consider teamwork essential to our success.
Our comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy, Diversity Council and ERGs help us foster an inclusive
workspace where teams work together and employees achieve their full potential.
CommunityCareFusion has always valued giving back to the communities in which we work and live. From our Day of
Caring to supporting grants from the CareFusion Foundation for employee volunteerism, we’ve continued
to show the importance of giving back. ERGs provide a means to consolidate efforts, act strategically and
deliver the most value to the external community organizations with which we partner.
CustomersOur customers know us around the globe for our high quality products and services. Our ERGs are working
to ensure that they also know us for how we reflect their ideals and to showcase CareFusion as a
world-class place to work.

CareFusion Diversity & Inclusion Team
“Diversity exists any time you have more
than one person in a room. Our goal should
be to have employees with as many different
backgrounds and experiences in that room
as possible. That’s critical for innovation.
The question we get to ask is, ‘How can
those different perspectives help us to
recognize and solve problems?’ With that
kind of environment, it’s hard not to stay
engaged and excited about being part of
this team.”
Markus Achord, Manager of Diversity & Inclusion;
U.S. Navy veteran, Louisianan
“I am honored and proud to be a part of
CareFusion as a new member of the Diversity &
Inclusion team. This new position demonstrates
the company’s continued commitment to increase
our diversity efforts and we are excited to build
on our existing momentum.”
Gemma Markham, Coordinator, Diversity, Inclusion
and University Relations; USMC Wounded Warrior
