In this week’s installment of our Career Advice video series, Linda Bell, Head of Content at Fair360, spoke with Marion Brooks, VP & US Country Head, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Novartis (a Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Hall of Fame company.) Brooks spoke about taking advantage of opportunities to grow your career, the importance of building emotional intelligence and defining your brand.
With goals to close the gender pay gap and achieve gender parity in management roles, Novartis continues to build on the work that saw the company become the only organization to be named the No. 1 company on the Top 50 twice.
In these complex times, the unique needs of our patients and customers continue to be our priority. We understand the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive workforce that is passionate about discovering and developing breakthrough treatments and finding new ways to deliver them to as many people as possible.
Diversity and Inclusion is a competitive advantage or disadvantage. The research shows that diverse organizations deliver higher revenues and increased innovation, and are more responsive to customer needs. Diversity is inevitable, but inclusion is the key to unleashing the true power of people and organizations.
