Joy
Director, Statistical Programming
“’We care’ for me means to always remind yourself that behind all the data are real people. The programming job can be challenging, but once this connection is made it is motivational to do your best to deliver. The outcome could improve a person’s health!”

Emmanuel
Senior Clinical Research Associate
“Knowing the important part patients play in clinical research, it is incumbent on us to ensure that their safety and well-being are maintained throughout the study participation - by thoroughly, quickly, and reliably working With Heart™.”

Ben
Senior Regulatory Affairs Consultant
“I am always supported by my managers and peers to be myself, I have shared stories of my hobbies, and through lockdown had the support needed as a single gay parent. This was key in making sure my children had what they needed, and I had the flexibility to manage my work.”
Flexibility, Recognition and Support
Healthy employees – be it physical, mental, financial or social health – are best able to contribute to achieving the company goals. Therefore, we provide a portfolio of benefits to address their unique needs throughout the various stages of life and careers, regardless of geographic location.

Itzel
Senior Clinical Data Analyst
“I appreciate my remote role because I can take care of my physical and mental health and have time to stay close to my family, dogs, and the chance to resolve personal issues. Even though I’m working from home, my team and Line Manager is always there when needed.”

Judson
Global Category Sourcing Manager
“When the Flexible Work Arrangement was released, I decided to work remotely and now no longer deal with a 3+ hour daily commute to and from our Newton campus. I am more productive at work and get to spend more time with my family – it’s a win-win!”

Nayoung

“The most impressive message from my Women in Leadership program was BE BOLD & GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. I got to know that all those successful women also hesitated to take risks just like me. Now I am accepting my authenticity and getting bolder, which helps me feel more energetic and alive.”

We Care in Action ‒ Our Corporate Responsibility
Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach is focused on four key areas:
Patients
We fight for good health, well-being and health equity. Our patient-first focus ensures therapies are effective across all populations.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
Our three-pillar strategy focuses on patients, our people and our suppliers. Colleagues, managers and leadership partner to create a culture of respect, inclusion and “We Care” for all.
Environmental sustainability
Preserving our planet for future generations is an important part of the Parexel culture. We have a robust set of goals aimed at reducing our impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint.
Governance
We conduct our business with quality and integrity, with every colleague empowered and accountable for applying our Code of Conduct to our work.

Xoli
Head of Clinical Trial Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
“When we think about inclusive clinical trials here at Parexel, we think about including the "whole" patient. We're looking at race and ethnicity, disability status, gender, sex, age, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status. To do this well we have to stay open about trying and learning new things and therefore we are upskilling our teams at all levels.”

Simon
Executive Vice President, Global Data Operations
“Through events like Parexel Pride, we ensure that all current and future LGBTQ+ employees and their allies know that our company has a safe environment in which to build your career, no matter your orientation. In this way, I and many others can be role models to the next generation, an opportunity that we ourselves found missing during our own youth.”

Sanjay
Executive Vice President, Safety & Logistics and Country Head of India
“In India, where medical access to smaller and/or more remote cities and villages is a challenge, the Parexel-sponsored COVID-19 vaccine vans made it possible to provide access and get life-saving vaccines out at a grassroots level. Looking at efforts like this fills our company culture with immense pride for what we do for our patients.”
