Creating a Culture of Belonging for All
Our culture of belonging reflects how we hire, train, manage and develop our teams.
We offer every new teammate our Basics of Belonging course, and every member of our team — from front-line care to executive leadership — is encouraged to pursue our robust suite of ongoing belonging education.
According to our most recent survey, 85% of teammates report that they feel like they belong at DaVita, and 83% report that their manager successfully creates a sense of belonging.
Belonging consistently emerges as a key driver of engagement for our teammates. Our strong belonging scores helped drive a teammate engagement score of 85% in 2025, which ranks among the best in our industry and in U.S. companies overall.
A cherished DaVita program, our annual Week of Belonging, offers all teammates an opportunity to engage with intentional activities that cultivate and amplify belonging.
Our Teammate Resource Groups, open to all, continue to support teammate connection and belonging within our clinics and business offices.
We promote multiple forums for teammates to have their voice heard — from informal conversations with leaders to planned events like Town Halls and company-wide calls to our bi-annual engagement survey.
Our Belonging Behaviors
- Creating Trust and Safety
- Respecting and Valuing Others
- Providing Consistent Support
Commitments in Action
Redwoods Campus Recruiting
A DaVita tradition since 2005, our Redwoods program is just one example of our commitment to cultivating leadership from within. Far more than standard campus recruiting, our Redwoods team works directly with campus organizations supporting students with business interest in healthcare and general management to recruit select cohorts of high-potential students, including women, students of color and military veterans. The program supports all participants with a dedicated mentor and a full two years of specific and structured leadership training.
DaVita Redwoods is proud to partner with a broad range of public and private institutions to open a unique door to professional growth.
Representation at Every Level
We're proud to have strong representation for all by hiring the most qualified talent. We meet or exceed 68% of EEO-1 benchmarks across our full teammate population as of December 31, 2025. Highlights of this reporting period include:
Fostering Diverse Perspectives in Leadership
We are committed to hiring the most qualified individuals and ensuring our programs and practices open doors for growth, opportunity and long-term success at DaVita for all teammates. We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our leadership and enhance our ability to serve our patients, teammates and communities. We engage a broad range of high-potential candidates through our recruiting process, and we provide all teammates a variety of training opportunities to develop the skills needed to move into leadership roles.
