Flexibility, Recognition, and Support at Parexel

Flexible Work Program — In-office, home-based or a mix?

Choose the right work arrangement for you! Parexel is committed to supporting the pursuit of work fitting into our lives. Depending on your role and location, working remotely, in an office or in a hybrid model are viable work options. 

Within Parexel's fast-paced, globally connected world, we need space to balance our jobs with our personal responsibilities and interests outside of work.

A culture of support

Our employees thrive on a collaborative spirit – we trust in each other as much as we trust in ourselves. We wouldn’t finish projects on time and with first-time quality without people feeling the support of their colleagues, managers and Parexel. Their joint efforts are what make everyone’s success possible.

To support our colleagues' wellbeing we offer, in addition to the above-mentioned flexibility, a comprehensive range of mental health and wellness services across the globe. Whether you're looking for professional support, peer connection or wellness activities, we're here for you. Programs vary by country, but a few examples of our programs are listed below.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Available 24/7 to all employees globally, our EAP provides confidential counseling, financial, legal, and mental health support. Our external provider offers a range of services to support your wellbeing whenever you need it.

Mental Health First Aiders Our Mental Health First Aiders are trained colleagues who provide confidential peer support. They're not therapists, but they're here to listen, understand what you're going through, and help connect you with the right resources or support. Simply reach out to an MHFAider via Teams for a confidential conversation.

Health and Wellness Community Join our global Health and Wellness Community, led by volunteer ambassadors across the organization. We organize regular wellness activities and community events designed to support your mental and physical wellbeing, from yoga sessions and mindfulness practices to community gatherings that bring colleagues together.

Getting things done and improving our world calls for celebration. We come together digitally and personally to celebrate the finished projects, to show our support for diversity, equity and inclusion, and to deepen the connections we've built over the years of collaboration.

Recognition Program “Bravo”

We know how important it is to put people first. So we celebrate our colleagues and everything they do to accomplish their goals, help a colleague or project in need, live our company values and share their expertise. 

All year round we receive and give recognition — colleague-to-colleague, as a manager, for service anniversaries and life events. For certain recognitions, employees receive points which can be exchanged in our Recognition Shop for merchandise, experiences and donations.
