People and communities
We strive to provide our associates with the safest possible workplace and to promote their health and well-being. We are an integral part of the communities that host our operations. We pay living wages worldwide, contributing to the stability and prosperity of these communities. Every year, in April, our Community Partnership Day provides an opportunity for our associates to express their personal commitment to corporate citizenship.

Our people
At Novartis, our associates focus their talents on achievement through innovation. In return for their drive and dedication, we are committed to advancing each associate's development and career through diversity and inclusion initiatives as well as a transparent talent-review process and a variety of learning and mentoring programs. These practices help us to attract and retain the “best of the best” talent.
We believe Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) includes, but is not limited to, ethnicity, gender, thinking styles, religion and beliefs, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, education, nationality and life experiences.
Diversity of our workforce enhances customer insight and our ability to meet the needs of patients and other stakeholders. Retaining talent adds value to our shareholders, our company, our customers, our employees, our suppliers and the communities where we live and work.
