Beeline is the Identity and Access Management tool for suppliers to onboard Contingent Workers assigned at Lilly. All workers globally that require unescorted site access and/or IT systems access must be onboarded by the supplier in Beeline.

Beeline Onboarding Process

Note: Pre-onboarding tasks such as Background Checks and drug screening requirements are determined by country, local process and entitlements assigned by the hiring manager. Background check in step 3 will not always be applicable. For more information contact the contingent Worker team by submitting a request on iSight.

Supplier Responsibilities

The supplier is expected to comply with all Lilly rules, procedures, standards and requirements as described in executed contracts, service level agreements and training sessions. Failure to comply with such requirements may result in an unfavorable impact for Lilly (business disruptions, delays in project deliverables, safety concerns) and negative consequences for the supplier (probation and/or termination of services). Suppliers are to maintain an open line of communication with their Lilly contact and/or the assigned contingent worker to ensure timely information sharing and distribution to all affected parties.

Suppliers have two main responsibilities in Beeline:

Onboard all contingent workers who require unescorted site access and/or IT systems access, and maintain any worker data changes as required

Where applicable, ensure that their employees and subcontractors meet and pass minimum criminal background check standards and a drug screen prior to receiving an unescorted access and/or Lilly system access.

Contingent Worker Types

There are four different types of contingent workers that can be on-boarded at Lilly.

Agency Workers
Workers hired to staff projects or augment teams with specific skills. They typically fill a specific role, such as a backfill for a Lilly employee on a leave of absence (LOA) or supplemental staff for short-term needs.

Outsourced Workers
Vendors hired under a long-term agreement to take ownership of an end-to-end process, performed on- or off-site, such as cafeteria workers, legal claims, contact centres, collections, benefits or payroll.

Deliverables
Highly specialized providers engaged to deliver specific, documented deliverables and services. This could include management or strategy consultants, IT consultants, auditors, outside counsel/legal discovery, or HR services (training, coaching, assessments, recruiting, etc.).

Business Guests
Individuals who require site and/or system access, but who do not fit into any of the other categories. This could include members of the board of directors, regulators, or transition services agreement (TSA) workers.

In the US - Background Check and Drug Screening are required for unescorted site access and information technology systems access.

In the United States, a background check and drug screen in compliance with Lilly’s US Screening Standards (found in Beeline under the Help menu) is required for any worker receiving Lilly unescorted site access (badge).

Risk Assessment and Safety Orientation

All contingent workers must complete a risk assessment with Lilly Safety Management Group. At a minimum, contractors must attend the Contractor Risk Level 1 Contractor Orientation.

: To initiate the supplier registration process, the Lilly business owner should complete the supplier registration form (available under Quick Links in LillyNow) and submit the form via i-Sight. The Lilly Contingent Worker team will review the request and, if approved, will contact the supplier to complete the registration process. Once registration is complete, the supplier can add and maintain worker data, and onboard workers in partnership with the Lilly hiring manager(s).

Note: The registration is a one-time process in Beeline to enable the supplier to independently onboard workers to Lilly thereafter.

: Beeline Supplier Support

The Supplier User Guide available in Beeline under the Help Menu will guide and support the supplier to onboard and maintain worker data in Beeline. All required supporting documentation, including background check material, can be found under the Help Menu in all supporting languages.

This is formal notice to any third party organization currently working with or being considered to work with consumer personal information (PI) on behalf of the Lilly USA division:

On May 15, 2002, Lilly entered into a Consent Order with the United States Federal Trade Commission ("Consent Order") stemming from a situation in 2001. Lilly also entered into voluntary Assurances with eight states ("States' Assurances") stemming from the same underlying situation.
