"Team Schein is a tight knit-group—especially the sales reps. I've met some of my closest friends thanks to my career here and we're involved in each other's lives, personally and professionally. When we heard that our colleague and good friend's sister, who had been battling cancer, was accepted into a clinical trial, we were thrilled for him. But the trial would be lengthy and was located out-of-state—making it financially impossible for his parents to go with her. 'Why don't we raise the money for them?' It was an idea that took hold almost immediately, driving us to reach out to other colleagues within the Company, none of whom hesitated to help. Donations poured in and the funds came together quickly. We called our friend in for a 'meeting' and to his surprise, handed him the money that would allow his family to be together throughout the entirety of his sister's treatment. You don't see people come together like this very often. But then again, these people aren't just colleagues, they're friends." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN

“After starting a family, I knew I wanted to improve my culinary skills – and that’s where my cooking journey began. As a mother of three, including twins, my life can resemble a vibrant circus at times, but everyone needs to eat. I find joy in the complexity of bringing a meal to life, experimenting with different flavors and textures until the recipe is just right. At times, pleasing my kids’ palates can make my role at Henry Schein seem simple. But listening to feedback, whether it comes from your six and nine-year-olds or a brilliant dentist or doctor, is imperative. I strive to help others feel heard, making the necessary tweaks and changes, allowing us to adapt and improve to give our customers what they need to deliver care. It’s all about refining your recipe for success.” #IAMTEAMSCHEIN #CXDay

"I had just graduated high school and was eager to begin earning money of my own. As I learned my day-to-day responsibilities, my supervisor was very patient, always making sure that I had the support necessary to succeed. That was 37 years ago, and I'll never forget where I came from in this Company. Having experienced firsthand how patience can raise someone up — it's molded how I interact with and manage others today. There have been plenty of instances throughout the years where we have had a team member who wants to do well and succeed, but for individual reasons, they aren't able to get a handle on the work. Instead of leaving them to figure it out on their own, we always take the time to go through the process step by step, and that small amount of extra time typically leads to success. Having the ability to connect with others on a human level, working through challenges together — that's why I've been here for 37 years." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN

"I immediately knew that I had made a great career choice when I joined Henry Schein 11 years ago. From day one, I felt welcomed for who I was and never doubted whether I could be my authentic self. When I found out the Company was creating an LGBTQ+ employee resource group (ERG), I wanted in! Now, it's an honor to serve on the leadership team for the Pride & Allies ERG, which provides various educational programs for our members on topics that affect both LGBTQ+ Team Schein Members (TSMs) and their allies. Henry Schein's culture is genuinely welcoming and inclusive, and I hope to show my fellow TSMs why I've grown to respect and love this Company." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN

"It's almost incomprehensible to stand on top of a mountain. To look out across the horizon, knowing what you just conquered — you almost can't put words to the sense of awe you feel. And it's not just admiration for the vastness of nature, but the respect you gain for yourself. You never realize what you're able to accomplish until it's done. Four years ago, I decided to take a leap of faith, abandoning my comfort zone to join Henry Schein. It can seem impossible in your first few weeks, if not months, at a new job. Getting acquainted with both the company and your new role while laying the foundation for strong relationships can be an overwhelming prospect. Fortunately, the people here are not only welcoming but want to help you succeed. Looking back, I feel like I'm conquering something great — it was the best decision I could have made." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN

“In 2015, I left the only home I knew to embark on a new life in Canada. My departure was filled with fear and insecurity, leaving me to wonder whether I had made the right choice in leaving Venezuela. I felt like I left pieces of myself behind to make room for change, but in those first few months, I realized that “home” is not tangible. It is not made of bricks but of people and moments that make you feel whole and safe. There have been many women who inspired my journey. From my grandmother, I learned integrity and courage; from my mother, resilience and determination; and from my daughter, unconditional love. They have always encouraged me to chart my own course through life, and my hope is to inspire my daughter to dream big, knowing that she can pursue her ambitions with unwavering self-assurance. It’s in our own hands to forge a new future for ourselves and generations to come, and I hope you find solace in knowing that you are your own home.” #IAMTEAMSCHEIN #WomensHistoryMonth #IWD2024

"As a parent, it can be difficult to maintain work-life balance, but the pandemic has brought my family and I closer than ever, despite spending most of the day in separate rooms. As a manager, my team is a little farther away — in fact, I've never been more physically distanced from them. It was a little nerve wracking at first. We had no idea how our team dynamic would shift after moving to remote work, but my concerns quickly melted away. It has been inspiring to watch each of my fellow friends and colleagues rally around each other and our customers during this insanely challenging and demanding time. The pandemic has brought about unimaginable hardships, but it has also fostered stronger connections, both personally and professionally. It really feels like there's nothing we can't overcome when we work together." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN

“I used to internalize comments about my career, marriage, and the way I mother my children. It’s extremely liberating once you see past the pressures that others place upon you without your consent. My own mother has helped me get to this place of strength and has been one of the most impactful people in my life. She has never tried to influence me based on her beliefs or experiences but has always given me the freedom to decide what was best for me. As I continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, I’m reminded of all those who came before me and what each of us is contributing toward a more equitable future, where we can see our own value and define what success means to each of us.” #IAMTEAMSCHEIN #WomensHistoryMonth

"I was young when I got my first computer — a Windows Millennium Edition. With no idea how to get it set up, my neighbor helped me get started so I could play video games with one of their children. It was an early lesson in how technology could connect people. As I grew up, I realized I wanted to turn my passion for technology into a career in IT. With no real experience or degree, I expected to land an entry-level position, working on the same type of task each day. Instead, I found myself with a career path at Henry Schein. The work is diverse enough that over the past two years, no two days have been the same. I handle so many different issues throughout each day that I've honed my capability to listen. That ability to hear what a customer says and translate it into the correct solution has really helped me grow in this profession." #IAMTEAMSCHEIN
