Creating a culture where individuals and teams thrive
GSK is a global biopharma leader with new ambitions and new 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 recognize, 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.
Rewarding your hard work
Our people have risen to the challenge of getting ahead of disease together. We will equip you with everything you need to succeed – and reward your hard work.
Our rewards package includes:
- A competitive base salary
- An annual bonus based on company performance
- Access to healthcare and wellbeing programs, pension plan membership, savings programs, time off and childcare support
- Employee recognition programs that reward exceptional achievements
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 all can 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 programs.
We also encourage our colleagues to take responsibility for their objectives. Make agile decisions. Take smart risks while doing the right thing. Listen and act on constructive feedback. It improves our performance consistently and helps 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 well-being programs and support services will help you be healthier, inspired and energized 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 personalized 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. At GSK Canada, we expect 2-3 days per average week in the office is the general rule for office-based roles.
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
