Message from Marion Brooks
"Diversity & Inclusion is a competitive advantage or disadvantage. The research shows that diverse organizations deliver higher revenues, increased innovation, and are more responsive to customer needs. Diversity is inevitable, but inclusion is the key to unleashing the true power of people and organizations."
Defining Diversity and Inclusion in Pharma US
We define diversity broadly to include the similarities and differences we each possess based upon characteristics we were born with, experiences we have had and choices we have made. In short, everyone is part of our definition.
An inclusive environment is one in which each person's resources are recognized and routinely utilized in achieving the organization's goals. People feel valued, respected and heard. People are included as part of the team because their differences in outlook, perspective and background are seen as adding value. Everyone is fully able to contribute.
