Medline is pleased to announce the release of its new Diversity and Inclusion Statement. It has always been Medline’s policy to afford equal employment opportunities, but this statement takes it a step further. It recognises that a diverse workforce allows the company to draw on different perspectives to enhance decision-making, innovation, and product and service quality. Additionally, the statement sets goals for the next four years to further embed a commitment to diversity and inclusion in Medline’s recruitment activities, internal promotions, remuneration and reward system, training and development opportunities, and in its overall organisational culture. Summed up best by Medline’s VP of HR & CSR Violaine Bléjan, ‘Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is about caring for your colleagues as individuals—accepting and respecting the ways in which they differ from you, whatever that may be, and making these differences an asset in your mutual cooperation.’

In a growing library of product- and service-related videos, Medline has just added two new films about its Clear Thermo Cover, one thoroughly explaining its use and the other highlighting its benefits. The Clear Thermo Cover is made of a strong, puncture-resistant polyethylene film and serves as a cost-effective way to keep sterile water in your operating theatre at an optimal temperature. It fits most stainless steel bowls that are available on the market and can be used with or without a warmer. Sterility and efficiency are priorities in the operating theatre, and Medline’s Clear Thermo Cover is a practical way to avoid the expensive and labour-intensive cleaning and re-sterilisation process involved with reusable bowls.
