About Novartis
Novartis is a global Pharmaceutical company that sits at the intersection of cutting-edge medical science and innovative digital technology, enabling us to have extraordinary impact on some of the world’s greatest diseases. Disease affects everyone, but not always in the same way. That’s why we believe that inclusivity matters. Improving medicines and access to healthcare starts with listening to people and perspectives from across society and across Novartis. By taking on board one another’s views, and by representing and reaching out to the communities we serve, we can create better and more equitable outcomes for everyone. We believe in the power of diversity.
Here, you’ll have countless opportunities to develop through training, coaching, and mentoring. Whatever your role, you’ll be surrounded by people you can learn from and admire.
Welcome to where we thrive together!
Diversity & Inclusion
We believe in the power of diversity. We celebrate our differences, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster an environment where everyone can feel safe, well, valued and rewarded.
You’ll find it across our teams – from experienced professionals to brand new starters. We’re keen to ensure everybody has an equal opportunity to make an impact, and that it’s passion and performance that get you ahead. We take ownership of challenges and projects. We know we can count on our colleagues to champion, support and encourage us to do our best work.
Our LGBT+ Network
As an organization, we actively promote Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer & Intersex (LGBTQI) equity and awareness at work and in our wider society. We want everyone to be free, to be their best and true selves at work without fear of discrimination. That’s why we were the first global pharmaceutical company to support the United Nations Standards of Conduct for Business, tackling discrimination against LGBTI People. We have 20 LGBTQI Employee Resource Groups in 14 countries and recognize that senior champions play a crucial role in setting an example for culture, behaviors and inclusion at Novartis. That is why we have established a senior leadership team who are active allies and advocate for LGBTQI equality globally.
Hear From Our People
Recently our colleague Stephie shared her powerful story about coming out as transgender.
'When I was in my late forties, I came to the realization that I was transgender. I signed up with a transgender clinic in Basel and went through a period of counselling. It was not long before I decided that I did not want to live a double life and that the right thing for me to do was to come out as transgender at work.'
