Bristol Myers Squibb is dedicated to hiring a diverse workforce. Our reason for this is simple. In order to truly serve our patients and communities, we must rely on a workforce that reflects the marketplace we serve, can leverage personal and professional business experience to help us drive business results, and serve as the voice of Bristol Myers Squibb in community outreach events.
Recognizing people’s differences gives us access to a broad range of scientific and business insights, strengthens our competitive advantage, and helps us achieve our patient-centered mission most effectively and most efficiently.
Equal opportunity is a cornerstone of our company culture
Our culture of inclusion enables us to create a work environment where all are free to fully contribute and reach their maximum potential in a workplace that is respectful, welcoming to all individuals and free from harassment and discrimination.
Our employees as well as our vendors, partners and independent contractors have an impact on our EEO efforts, and share in the responsibility to uphold the legal requirements of EEO policies.
