Belonging

We create a culture of belonging by valuing the perspectives of all talented employees worldwide and providing them with the opportunity to thrive at IQVIA.

  • Our UK Q4 2023 Employee Pulse Survey results shows 72.9% of our employees reported feeling engaged, compared to 71.1% in our Q2 2023 survey.

  • We now have over 170 UK employee Wellbeing Champions who provide awareness, support and engagement on employee health and wellbeing.
  • We continue to embed our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) reinforcing our One IQVIA culture.

Under the UK Government’s regulations, we are required to report certain gender pay information for all entities with 250 or more employees; in IQVIA we have three such legal entities outlined below.

In the following charts, the term ‘median’ represents the comparison of the middle number in a sorted list arranged in value order from lowest to highest for each gender. The term ‘mean’ represents the comparable average hourly earnings by gender.

The charts above also show the gender distribution in each of the three entities across four equally sized pay quartiles.

As a reminder, the disclosures required by the gender pay gap law measure the difference between the average earnings of all employees who identify as men and women, irrespective of their role or seniority, within the statutory quartiles. They do not reflect equality of pay for equal roles.
