Inclusion & Diversity at Teva
Find Your Next Role
At Teva, everyone belongs, and all opinions are valued. We welcome and embrace individuals of all ethnicities, races, religions, cultures, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, and abilities. When our people are heard, respected, and empowered, they can realize their full potential and apply their unique, individual skills and talents. This strengthens our organization, fueling our creativity and innovation as we work to improve health for people of all backgrounds.
Together we're united in building something greater than ourselves – and we do this by treating our people fairly and with respect. But simply telling you we care isn't enough.
Fostering an Inclusive Culture at Teva
We asked Teva people about inclusion and diversity, and this is what they had to say.
Hear from our people what working at Teva means to them in their own words.
What does an inclusive workplace look like?
Our inclusive culture is what binds us. By removing the barriers between our people and their ideas, beliefs, and ability, we can harness the truly diverse insights that underpin our innovative work. It's about being accepted for who you are and feeling you belong.
And, of course, individuality comes from the way people think, too. So as part of our initiative to increase the number of neurodivergent people working for Teva, we're currently piloting a neurodiverse recruitment program focused on Autism. We'll be working closely with a specialist agency that assists in recruiting talented individuals, training employees on autism acceptance in the workplace, and supporting candidates and managers throughout the placement experience.
From how we hire to closing the gender gap, we encourage the spirit of togetherness. Here are some of our stories:
The women changing our perspectives
Removing barriers to gender equality across our organization is about empowering individuals to achieve. We provide company-wide education, inclusion, and learning activities to ensure there are no barriers to success based on gender at Teva. Here, we shine a light on the many inspiring women of Teva as they discuss their outlook, journey, and their successes.
Empowering you to be heard
Across the board, we want our people to feel empowered to be their true selves and inspire others in doing so. Our Employee Resource Group (ERG) is open to all employees and provides a platform to take action and express your unique voice, offering networking, education and leadership opportunities across the global organization.
Here, the leaders of our ERG share their personal stories about Inclusion and Diversity at Teva.
Proudly celebrating difference
The diversity of our workforce gives us insight to the many different groups of people that are part of the Teva family. One of which is the LGBTQ+ community, which we support through celebrating Pride all year round with talks, marches, and events. We're always seeking to improve how we do things and looking for ways to be more inclusive. Read about how we've been raising awareness for Pride across the globe through some exciting initiatives.
"When I transitioned, many of my friends waved goodbye…Teva has been very supportive, and my gender history is not an issue. I'm treated as just another contractor, and that's the way it should be. The policies they have in place offer me protection at work."
Christine Beckett, Diversity Champion, UK
Nurturing your unique skills
People join us with a range of unique work and life experiences, each offering something. The path might not be obvious at first, but we'll help you get there, offering you the support and guidance you need to thrive and reach your full potential. That's how Woody went from being a professional football player to a Respiratory Sales Specialist for Teva. This is his story.
We believe our desire to influence society and make the world a better place starts with us. We must drive behaving respectfully and inclusively at Teva, inspiring other organizations to do the same so we can impact society together.
