Simply speaking, our vision is to build strong careers by growing and embracing the diverse skills, cultures, ideas, and experiences of every employee around the globe.
Covance takes an active approach to its commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. Employee engagement and talent management are key focus areas for our organization, ensuring that Covance fully utilizes and appreciates the diverse talents and perspectives of our workforce.
Covance also offers its employees many Employee Resource Groups which provide a channel for our employees to connect with other employees with common backgrounds and to develop talent. These groups include; Gay Lesbian & Others, Women’s Leadership Network and the Diversity Awareness Committee. Additionally, Covance’s Global Diversity Award recognizes a business unit or corporate department that exemplifies achievement in promoting diversity initiatives.
Covance’s vision and commitment to diversity and inclusion begins at the top:
“At Covance, we believe diversity goes far beyond nationality, skin color, or gender. What it really means is leveraging the unique talents, opinions, and expertise of each and every one of our employees across the globe. Our vision is to be recognized by clients as the undisputed leader in providing drug development services, and we believe the only way we can be successful in doing so is to shape a culture where different backgrounds are respected, cultivated, and acknowledged as a competitive strength. Overall, by making diversity a competitive advantage, we can make Covance a better place to work, better understand and meet the expectations of our diverse clients, deliver more value to our stockholders, and enhance our ability to help bring the miracles of medicine to market sooner."
