We are the people who dare to do more. And we do it
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Parexel
Parexel celebrates the diversity of its workforce and patients and ensures an inclusive environment across gender, gender identity, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age or other differences. We foster a culture where our colleagues, customers and patients can give their best contribution and agree that “this is the place for me.”
„Our jobs, our fundamental work in clinical research, is impacted by having diverse clinical trials. And it’s hard to actually do that if you don’t reflect it as a company.”

Our Approach to Inclusion
We drive inclusion through a strategic three-pillar strategy of Patients, People and Suppliers supported by an Executive Committee.
Patients
Supporting our “Patients First” core value, Parexel is dedicated to being the patient-led CRO, ensuring that patient inclusion becomes business as usual. The inclusion of a diverse patient population in clinical trials is essential for ensuring efficacy, safety, and equity for patients in the real world. We have a dedicated team who provides support, resources, and guidance to clients, sites, and project teams. We work together to help patients feel included in their healthcare journey.
Xoli Belgrave is leading clinical trial diversity, equity and inclusion at Parexel
"We have to think bigger picture. Yes, we have the commitment to deliver on time and on budget for a particular project. But we also have an obligation to help sponsors to think about the end-to-end development, that is where the patient's voice is really important."
