Cultivating an Inclusive Culture

We strive to make Lilly a place where our employees enjoy meaningful work, build successful careers and make important contributions to society. Our approach to employee well-being means fostering a healthy, vibrant work environment while also enriching our employees’ lives with their families and in their communities. We believe this holistic approach helps Team Lilly be our best – more collaborative, more creative and more engaged – as we deliver on our company purpose.

Lilly takes a broad view of well-being that enables employees to live their best life. We focus on creating a healthy workplace, promoting physical wellness and behavioral health, improving financial literacy and maintaining social connectedness.

The pandemic has forced all of us to work in new ways and we supported one another as we all adapted. From enhancing local benefits related to health care, childcare and time off, to expanding access to home office ergonomic support equipment — Lilly supported employees in a variety of ways.

Lilly’s Global Well-Being Framework

Nothing is more important than the safety of our people. That’s why in 2013 we created aggressive goals to reduce injuries and vehicle collision rates. Through focused efforts to improve our safety culture, empower our employees, reduce workplace risks and continuously improve our safety programs, we have made considerable progress and report this out annually.

Looking to the future, we will continue efforts to improve our safety culture and increase our focus on the reduction of our most significant employee-safety risks. Learn more about our approach to employee safety.

Keeping our Employees Safe During a Global Pandemic

As COVID-19 spread around the world, Lilly moved quickly to protect our employees by restricting travel, practicing social distancing and moving to a work-from-home policy for everyone but those with jobs that are essential to ensuring supply of medicines. See our global COVID-19 response page for more information.

Our learning and development programs are designed to keep employees engaged as they make meaningful contributions toward our company’s purpose. We offer the training our employees need to do their jobs in the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry.

Our professional development platform, Explore Your Career, provides resources to help employees grow and lead as they navigate their career at Lilly. Launched in 2020, the platform contains tools and guidance for employees and their managers to discuss career aspirations, skills and interests; map career scenarios; and develop necessary skills. In addition to live programs, there is an online portal with thousands of courses that cover business, technical and creative fields. Resources are personalized based on employee profile and are accessible anytime and from anywhere. Learn more about our approach to learning and development..
