Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Parexel
Parexel celebrates the diversity of its workforce, patients and suppliers and ensures an inclusive environment across gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and age. We foster a culture that provides equal opportunities to contribute and feel a sense of belonging.
"Our jobs, our fundamental work in clinical research, is impacted by having diverse clinical trials. And it’s hard to actually do that if you don’t reflect it as a company."
Quote by Peyton Howell, Chief Executive Officer, from the below video where our Executive Leadership Team share about DEI at Parexel.
Our Approach to Inclusion
We drive inclusion through a strategic three-pillar strategy of Patients, People and Suppliers supported by an Executive Committee.
Patient Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Supporting our “Patients First” core value, Parexel is dedicated to being the patient-led CRO, ensuring that patient inclusion becomes business as usual. The inclusion of a diverse patient population in clinical trials is essential for ensuring efficacy, safety, and equity for patients in the real world. We have a dedicated team who provides support, resources, and guidance to clients, sites, and project teams. We work together to help patients feel included in their healthcare journey.
Xoli Belgrave is leading clinical trial diversity, equity and inclusion at Parexel
"We have to think bigger picture. Yes, we have the commitment to deliver on time and on budget for a particular project. But we also have an obligation to help sponsors to think about the end-to-end development, that is where the patient's voice is really important."
