According to the business dictionary, a mission statement is “ a written declaration of an organization’s core purpose and focus that normally remains unchanged over time.” While a vision statement is, “ an aspirational description of what an organization would like to achieve in the mid or long term future.”
Getinge (Maquet):
Getinge’s mission statement is :
“Getinge is an authority in the specialist field of medical devices and is committed to helping its customers save lives and guarantee excellent care.”
Getinge’s Vision:
“We focus on living five cultural core values in everything we do-these are passion, collaboration, openness, excellence and ownership.”
AS a current Getinge employee I can see how Getinge’s vision has been implemented into everyday work ethic of Getinge employees. We stand true to the five core values listed above and that is the reason for being able to save lives with a guarantee of care. Getinge is making strides to improve their cultural environment which are based on both their mission and vision statements.
