Belonging. At Novartis we want to ensure an environment where everybody feels like they belong. By celebrating our differences and learning from one another, we can express our thoughts and ideas more freely, which helps fuel the inspiration we need to keep reimagining medicine to help millions of people around the world. That’s why in honor of Pride month, we asked our LGBTQI+ community at Novartis what belonging means to them here. These are their stories...
“When I heard about 26 weeks parental leave, I could not believe it!” At Novartis all our people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or location can benefit from a minimum of 14 weeks flexible paid parental leave, effective from their first day of employment. We recognize the moments that matter and believe in promoting greater equity for birthing and non-birthing parents. As we celebrate the Gobal Day of Parents, our colleague Lancy shares what this has meant for him personally and professionally.
At Novartis our aspiration is to alleviate society’s greatest disease burdens by delivering our innovative medicines to twice as many patients, twice as fast. Our commercial organization develops and executes the strategies to achieve this aspiration and deliver twice the growth. Join us and imagine the impact you could have here!
We are delighted to share that Novartis has secured the top spot as most attractive employer for natural science students in Switzerland, according to Universum’s 2023 Talent Survey. The rankings are based on a survey of 10,593 students from Switzerland's leading universities. Novartis scored highly for its emphasis on innovation and new technologies and is testament to the high priority we place on cultivating the growth of our early talent and helping them achieve their potential.
At Novartis our aim is to empower our people to create transformational change through the work they do both for our industry and for our company. Recently, three incredible leaders were recognized for their contributions in the field and in the workplace. Michele, Daniela and Sarah were honored as Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Women of the Year 2023, for their significant contributions to advancing healthcare while being a shining example of leadership for their teams. Congratulations to these inspiring role models!
