Take control of your career
At GSK, we offer everyone the opportunity to work with outstanding colleagues. Our culture inspires people to do things better and faster – so we can all thrive while doing our best work.
We are empowered to take charge of our own development throughout our career. We do this through a blend of on-the-job experience and formal and informal learning. This includes coaching, mentoring, and training programmes.
We also encourage our colleagues to take responsibility for their objectives, make agile decisions, take smart risks, and listen and act on constructive feedback. These actions improve our performance consistently and help us be conscious of the impact we create.
Taking care of our people
Our culture is about giving everyone space and support to succeed, learn and grow so we can achieve our ambition. It’s about providing everything you need to be and perform at your best – both mentally and physically.
Whether in laboratories, manufacturing sites or offices, we make sure every space is a safe, inclusive and caring environment. By encouraging our colleagues to take personal responsibility to do the right thing, everyone in the room plays an active role in being inclusive.
Our range of health and wellbeing programmes and support services will help you be healthier, inspired and energised both at work and at home. It’s important to us that each of our colleagues is truly well, happy and have the confidence to be themselves.
Flexible and life-friendly working
Our personalised approach to work enables colleagues to have more choices about how they work to meet both their personal needs and the needs of our business. Through regular check in conversations, managers discuss with colleagues how they can thrive in all aspects of their lives and deliver their best work at GSK, supported by a range of life-friendly policies. These policies include more formal arrangements such as flexible hours, part-time working and job shares, as well as informal arrangements such as working from different locations.
We regularly review our life-friendly programmes and policies to ensure we position ourselves competitively and support the needs of our colleagues. In the US we introduced paid parental leave, which allows new parents to take up to eight weeks off work following the birth or adoption of their child. We also provide eligible colleagues up to four weeks of paid leave to care for an immediate family member who requires care for a serious health condition. We’ve raised our commitment to family-friendly policies across many countries and have a range of local flexibility models to improve work/life balance. As an example, in the UK colleagues can sacrifice part of their salary in exchange for up to ten days of extra holiday.
