Benefits

Our employees’ hard work and dedication is what makes us so successful. Our talent philosophy is simple. It connects each person’s individual success to the success they help create for our company.

AbbVie’s approach to benefits, compensation and well-being—what we call Total Rewards—is built to be competitive. But in addition to recognizing and rewarding individual performance, we also offer employees flexibility and support throughout their changing life stages.

Total Rewards In Action

“In September 2015, my husband and I realized our dream of bringing home our little boy from Ethiopia. AbbVie’s adoption and parental leave policies gave me additional paid leave and I was so relieved. Our son had lived his entire life in an orphanage and was very sick and malnourished. He needed time with us to get well and adjust. The extra time that AbbVie afforded us was priceless! Thank you so much for granting me this time with our son!”

Amy Bankston, Dermatology Sales Specialist

Our programs go beyond the usual. We’re driven by the health, welfare and financial well-being of our employees worldwide. That’s why we provide Total Rewards, a robust portfolio of compensation, benefit, recognition and well-being programs that enable our people to meet their personal and professional needs.

Vitality is our approach to employee well-being. It’s about sustaining healthy behaviors so each person performs their best both inside and outside the workplace. AbbVie Vitality encompasses a wide range of events, programs and resources, including:

“Because of AbbVie’s support of working parents, I was able to build a flourishing career—and ensure my children were thriving as well.”

Kathryn Kalivoda, Principle Pharmaceutical Scientist

Since joining AbbVie in 2005, Kathryn has been able to progressively advance her career. She started out leading the technical support for medicine indicated for prevention and treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. Currently, she manages the BioAnalytical group in Science & Technology and leads the support of the group’s key product.

Her passion for children is evident in her work/life balance with her own children, Jack, 8, and Ryan, 5. Located at AbbVie’s US headquarters, Kathryn utilized the on-site mothers’ rooms to nurse her infant sons. Until her boys were in school full time, they were cared for at the Early Discoveries on-site day care, where she was a highly active member of the parent association.

We are always looking for talented people to join our team. And when we find them, we make it our business to treat them well. Because every country is different, our benefits vary by country as well. Here are some examples of what we offer:
