We are committed to maintaining a culture of inclusion for all our employees and improving our gender pay gap results. As such, our business is focused on three core areas:

  1. Recruitment– Our recruiting process actively seeks to consider a diverse range of candidates at all levels of the company. The company will continue to ensure that a diverse slate of candidates is considered for all positions. In addition, IQVIA is committed to hiring individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences from within and outside the organisation for positions at all levels.

  2. Development & Progression – IQVIA is focused on having a diverse pipeline of talent moving up our organisation and providing opportunities for all employees to develop within a role as well as towards their next role. We will continue to consider a diverse slate of candidates for progression through our succession planning process.

  3. Retention – Once we hire the right people, we want them to stay. To increase employee engagement, we consistently seek feedback from employees through surveys and focus groups. We will continue to use this feedback and review our processes to identify additional initiatives aimed to further increase employee retention.
