GSK is a global biopharma company with an ambitious purpose: to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together
We recruit and develop outstanding people - people who believe in our purpose, live our culture and want to help us achieve our ambition. We expect managers to motivate, focus, develop and care for their teams, and we recognise, celebrate and reward success.
Above all, we create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued and included.

Working together stories
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. Performance with Choice, our version of hybrid working, supports people in relevant roles to agree the best way we can all work together, with a balance of time spent on-site and off-site. While 2-3 days per average week in the office is the general rule, specific policies regarding workplace attendance vary across countries.
In 2022, we announced improvements to our health and wellbeing benefits, to better support people through different life stages and to make sure our offerings are fair and inclusive. These include:
- a new global minimum standard of 18 weeks’ parental leave for primary and secondary carers for all forms of family
- a new global minimum standard of up to four weeks’ paid leave for care of a family member, for end-of-life or serious health emergencies
- insured benefits to include same sex partners, wherever possible
- a new financial wellbeing service and mental health training – available to everyone
Additionally, in the UK we’ve introduced enhanced benefits under our ‘Becoming a Parent’ policies, available to all employees, regardless of length of service.

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.
