Diversity at Pfizer

Diversity is just as crucial to building a successful business as it is to building a vibrant culture.

Our colleagues with various backgrounds and abilities contribute unique viewpoints and perspectives to all aspects of the business, from drug development to marketing. Diverse colleagues offer a more personal understanding of our patients’ needs and concerns, and are more collaborative, accepting of difference, and apt to embody balance between prudence and risk-taking. They are also more effective in a global environment, helping make us the world leader in discovering, developing, and marketing innovative medicines to improve health and change patients’ lives. http://www.pfizer.com/careers/en/diversity-inclusion

Finding Your Community and Making a Difference

At Pfizer, you’ll receive a warm welcome if you get involved in one of our more than 100 site-based Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) located throughout the world.

CRGs are groups of colleagues who are part of and/or who support the goals of a diverse population. They offer support, developmental opportunities, mentoring, and networking opportunities to help their members enhance their skills and advance their careers. They also contribute their unique backgrounds and viewpoints to help advance our business, and help their outside communities by participating as a group in many volunteer and philanthropic activities. Our CRGs are centered around Asians, Blacks, people with disabilities, Latinos, LGBTQ, Veterans, and Women. In Europe, Diversity Councils focus on all types of diversity. http://www.pfizer.com/careers/en/diversity-inclusion

We offer competitive compensation and benefits based on a variety of factors including prior experience, geographic location, and talent pool availability:

Pay for Performance Philosophy and Practices:  We structure our compensation policies and practices to recognize that you should be rewarded based on the contributions you make to our business.

Health and Wellness:  Depending on the customs and laws of a specific country, we offer programs that help you maintain and promote optimum health and wellness. They can include health and disability insurance, preventative health programs, medical screening, free or reduced-cost vaccinations, discounts on Pfizer products, and nutrition and fitness counseling.

Financial Goals:  Depending on local custom and practice, we offer benefits that will help you meet your financial goals. These can include access to colleague-directed retirement funds, company contributions to retirement financial vehicles, life insurance, and financial planning education.

Professional Goals: Our leaders and managers take an active role in developing colleagues and helping them fulfill their career goals:

• Individual Development Plans: You’ll work with your manager to create detailed career “roadmaps” that take into account your interests and aspirations as well as our business needs.
• Mentoring:We actively promote mentoring through our Mentor Match online tool – a quick and easy way to volunteer to be a mentor or to find a mentor that meets specific criteria.
• Internal Advancement:You may freely explore and apply for positions within Pfizer.
• Coaching-Focused Performance Management Process: We encourage managers to hold frequent, robust performance coaching discussions, rather than assigning labels to sum up an entire year’s performance.
• Short- and Medium-Term Experiential Opportunities:Through activities like job-rotation assignments, experiential action projects, and short-term project roles, you’ll have a variety of short- and medium-term career development opportunities.
• Learning & Development Opportunities: You can take advantage of learning and development opportunities focused on hundreds of topics, including leadership and management skills, industry- and job-specific learning, and general business, manufacturing, finance, and technology skills.

Our corporate responsibility programs are designed to help strenthen global public-health systems. Every day, we work across developed and emerging markets to advance wellness, prevention, treatments and cures for disease. To do that well, we work with health care providers, governments and local communities. And we've been making that difference for 150 years.
