At Olympus, we believe that strong external partnerships play a vital role in enhancing our employee experience.
By collaborating with industry leaders, local organizations, and innovative service providers, we offer our employees access to valuable resources, professional development opportunities, and meaningful community engagement. These partnerships enable us to provide wellness programs, skill-building workshops, mentorship initiatives, and exclusive benefits that contribute to a supportive and enriching work environment. Through these collaborations, we foster a culture of growth, connection, and well-being, ensuring that our employees feel empowered and engaged both professionally and personally.
Through my years at Olympus, I have witnessed firsthand its commitment to making people's lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling. The organization has invested in my growth as a professional, which is why Olympus is the only company I have ever worked for after completing my undergraduate degree (and I have been here for over 10 years now). The experience I have gained in the organization is incredible and I am grateful for that. Olympus has also provided me with the opportunity to be involved in my local community through volunteering initiatives that have connected me to non-profits with missions I am passionate about.”

EMPOWERING VETERANS: OUR DEDICATION TO THOSE WHO SERVED
Olympus recognizes the significant contributions of our Veteran and Military Service Members and values the perspectives that they bring to the table.
Their principles strongly align with our company purpose of making people’s lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling, making them a perfect fit within our work environment. We are a proud supporter of our active military colleagues and offer military leave. Additionally, our Veteran Employee Resource Group is a network of employees focused on creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace for our military service members and their families.
We pledge our support to the Military, reservist, and Veteran community through our participation in the annual Military Friendly Survey, through our signing of the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) initiative, and through our partnership with MedTech Vets.
We are proud to have earned Military Friendly® Employer designations in 2024 and 2025.
Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR)
Olympus is committed to protecting the job rights of employees absent due to military duty. Our policies are designed to support the balance between their professional life and service to their country with minimal disruption regarding pay and benefits, as well as a commitment to career growth and development. Our intent is to honor the service and sacrifice our military employees and provide support to these employees and their families as they fulfill their military obligations.
In March of 2024, Olympus pledged to support military reservists by signing on to the ESGR Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve ESGR initiative. The ESGR is a U.S. Department of Defense program established in 1972 that promotes cooperation and understanding between civilian employers and their National Guard and Reserve employees.
I enjoy working at Olympus, because they allow me to actively use the experience and leadership skills I gained throughout my military career. Olympus stays true to veterans by offering employment and making the environment family oriented. As a veteran, we have two families. Our immediate family and our Military family. I now have an Olympus family as well.”

Olympus has partnered with MedTech Vets, whose mission is to help military Veterans transition and find a purposeful career in the Medical Technology industry through education, mentoring and networking.
It’s an Honor to be awarded the 2024 Veterans Leadership Award of the Year! This award validates all the hard work our veteran community within Olympus and other corporations support above their normal job responsibilities. It also reflects upon the great organizations we work for and their investment in supporting veteran initiatives. Lastly, this award recognizes the best our nation has to offer and their selfless sacrifice.”
