In recent years, while implementing its localized innovation strategy, BD has actively built an "empowering organization" and cultivated an "inclusive culture" internally. This creates a conducive environment and a superior corporate culture, enabling colleagues from diverse professional and industry backgrounds to collaborate closely, maximize team efficiency and individual innovative capabilities, and proactively address the rapidly evolving external demands during the transformation of China's healthcare industry. Since 2020, BD has pioneered initiatives such as "flexible work models" and "Friday Energy Moments" to encourage employees to try new things and embrace change. Furthermore, through its internal platform "Live Well, Learn Well at BD," BD empowers employees to develop a "growth mindset" and adopt a future-oriented work style that promotes work-life balance.

Ms. Wu Shanshan also noted, “Employees born in the 1980s now account for nearly 80% of BD’s Greater China workforce. As Generation Z gradually enters the professional arena, how to cultivate a more appealing workplace culture for them, thereby ensuring the company consistently remains at the forefront of talent, is a core issue we must address. Because any corporate transformation ultimately depends on being talent-driven. Looking ahead from our current standpoint, companies must adapt to evolving trends, and the talent required for the future should also possess open-minded, cross-disciplinary, and multifaceted qualities.”
