Q: How would you describe your experience at LivaNova?
A: LivaNova is an amazing company with a great support system. People value your opinion and what matters to you. It’s a place where you can aim big and achieve what you want. In the past few months, I’ve communicated with my coworkers about what's happening in my professional life and learning how I can improve. There are good mentors here who value people and their growth. It’s an amazing culture to be in, and as a woman, you don't find that kind of encouragement any place else. I’ve worked at LivaNova for six years, and during that time, I haven’t experienced any discrimination based on gender. I tell everybody about my positive experience here at LivaNova and want the same for them too.
Q: What is the most helpful benefit that LivaNova offers to its employees?
A: The greatest benefit for me in the past few months has been LivaNova's Women's Network, where I can openly talk about any personal or professional issues. It’s a no-judgment zone where there’s always a listening ear. There is only so much I can share with people who aren’t in this industry and don’t know what challenges I face. The Women's Network gives me the opportunity to sit with somebody and say, "This is what I'm thinking. Am I crazy to be thinking this way?" I think this internal group is a great success. The women that I talk to are encouraging and say affirmations such as, "You don't need to stop here. You're great. You can go forward and achieve what you want." That's amazing.
