Every Day, We Create a Unique Culture
We understand that creating a purpose-driven, rewarding culture is critical to our collective success and our mission to serve the rare disease community.
We know that to become the most rewarding company to work for we need to cultivate an environment in which every team member is encouraged and equipped to perform at their personal best. This is why we continually strive to foster a culture that reflects values that are core to our unique work, and illustrates our daily commitment to people living with rare and devastating diseases, our Guiding Star.
Our Values
Guided by our focus on serving patients and activated through our shared commitment to transform lives, our culture values were purposefully created based on our desire to change lives for the better: ours, people living with diseases, and the communities we serve.
The Experience of Working at Alexion
We strive to be the most rewarding company to work for, fostering the type of environment that attracts and retains the best talent and provides the tools to enable each individual to perform at their personal best so that we maximize our collective impact. This means we:
- Empower team members to produce meaningful work through which they can see a connection to the patient
- Enable fulfilling work that maximizes their skills and potential
- Ensure team members feel valued by their managers as well as their colleagues
- Create a sense of belonging in our internal communities
- Optimize rewards and equity that recognize excellent contributions
By creating an unparalleled employee experience, our organization is equipped to adapt and enrich employees with a productive, engaging, and enjoyable work experience while accelerating world-class leadership and innovation capabilities that can deliver on our mission. These efforts are underpinned by our purpose-driven performance culture. Each of us is accountable to achieve our objectives with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, so we ultimately deliver on behalf of the patients who rely on us.
Giving Back
Alexion embraces the communities in which we operate. To help tackle pressing social needs in our communities, we support non-profit organizations with monetary grants and harness the power of our global workforce for a Global Day of Service, during which we work with charitable organizations around the world.
Inclusion & Diversity
Inclusion and diversity (I&D) fosters continuous innovation, constant learning, and propels our growth as individuals and for our company. That is why we aim to create an inclusive workplace and a workforce that reflects our communities and the patients we serve. We are strengthened by a diverse workforce; one that is empowered to challenge conventional thinking. We recognize that a team is most effective when it is made up of people who think differently from one another, in an environment where different views and perspectives are welcomed and valued. By embedding inclusive behaviors through our shared Values, we strive to create an equitable environment where everyone can thrive.
