People and Culture
We develop talent to solve complex health challenges and make a real difference in people’s lives.
The wide range of knowledge, perspectives and capabilities of our people is critical to AbbVie’s success in both the short and long term. To unlock their full potential, we focus on attracting and retaining the best talent, embracing equity, equality, diversity and inclusion (EEDI), advancing professional and leadership development and enhancing employee well-being.
Our workplace culture is built on three fundamental guideposts:
Our Principles represent who we are and what we stand for: transforming lives, acting with integrity, driving innovation, embracing diversity and inclusion and serving the community.
Ways We Work is a core set of behaviors that provide clear expectations for all our people, reinforcing that how we achieve results matters.
Our Talent Philosophy guides how we manage, lead and develop talent at AbbVie.
Cultivating a diverse & inclusive workforce
