Our people

At Novartis, our associates focus their talents on achievement through innovation. In return for their drive, ability and dedication, we are committed to advancing their development and career through diversity and inclusion initiatives as well as a transparent talent-review process and a variety of learning and mentoring programs. These practices help us to attract and retain the "best of the best."

We believe Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, thinking styles, religion and beliefs, sexual orientation, age, differential ability, education, nationality and life experiences.

Diversity of our workforce enhances insight into customers and our ability to meet the needs of patients and other stakeholders. Retaining talent from all backgrounds according to ability and achievement adds value to our shareholders, our company, our customers, our employees, our suppliers and the communities where we live and work.
