Our Inclusion and Diversity Mission
Building an inclusive and diverse workforce is central to Gilead's business and will ultimately help us create a healthier world for all. We're committed to fostering an inclusive culture, one that enables our employees to do their best work and that is reflective of the diversity of our patients and our communities. At the same time, we recognise that we need to do more to accelerate our progress – for our people, for our business and for the world.
Embedding Inclusion and Diversity into Our Culture
Inclusion is a core value at Gilead and means creating a work environment where employees feel involved, respected and connected. We believe that every employee is important to our success.
We also recognise that our differences are among our greatest sources of strength. These include visible and non-visible attributes, such as race, gender, gender identity, age, ethnicity, disability, appearance, thinking style, beliefs, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation and education, among others.
Inclusion and Diversity
Inclusion at Gilead is a core value that means creating and fostering a work environment where our differences are valued and where people feel involved, respected, and connected.
We are highly committed to creating an inclusive culture that enables all people to do their best work and reflects the diversity of our patients.
Our Employee Resource Groups foster a sense of belonging and inclusion that can spark innovation, accelerate employee development and make a difference inside, as well as outside, of Gilead. We have three Employee Resource Groups in the UK and Ireland: Women at Gilead, the Pride Alliance and Global Leadership Organisation of Black Employees.
Embracing Diversity Through The Halo Code
As part of our commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, Gilead UK and Ireland proudly champions the Halo Code, affirming our dedication to embracing Afro-textured hair in all its forms. We recognise that Afro-textured hair is an essential part of our Black employees' racial, ethnic and cultural identities, and we support the right to wear it in styles that celebrate individuality and promote hair health.
Our commitment to the Halo Code reinforces our ethos of respect, ensuring that hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone's ability to succeed at Gilead. We stand united in creating a workplace where everyone feels involved, respected and connected.
