What we stand for

The Black Business Network promotes career advancement and professional development by sponsoring career initiatives to develop and sustain the next generation of leaders at AbbVie. In addition, we strive to enhance the cultural competence within AbbVie focusing on cultural education, recruitment and retention of Black employees.

We do that by enabling all employees to reach their potential through:

Professional development opportunities
Connecting members and increasing engagement
Volunteering community outreach

Working at AbbVie

We help recruit diverse talent and provide employee development. These activities support us and further employees’ sense of belonging and engagement. As engagement increases, employees naturally expand into roles that maximize their potential and encourages them to explore and grow their skill sets.

I come to work every day for the chance to create a lasting legacy far beyond my years at AbbVie by my actions and influence with others.
