Inclusion & Diversity at Teva
At Teva, everyone belongs, and all opinions are valued. We welcome and embrace individuals of all ethnicities, races, religions, cultures, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, and abilities. When our people are heard, respected, and empowered, they can realize their full potential and apply their skills and talents. This strengthens our organization, fueling our creativity and innovation as we work to improve health for people of all backgrounds.
Together we're united in building something greater than ourselves – and we do this by treating our people fairly and with respect. But simply telling you we care isn't enough.
Fostering an Inclusive Culture at Teva
We asked Teva people about inclusion and diversity, and this is what they had to say.
Hear from our people what working at Teva means to them in their own words.
What does an inclusive workplace look like?
Our inclusive culture is what binds us. By removing the barriers between our people and their ideas, beliefs, and ability, we can harness the truly diverse insights that underpin our innovative work. It's about being accepted for who you are and feeling you belong.
And, of course, individuality comes from the way people think, too. So as part of our initiative to increase the number of neurodivergent people working for Teva, we're currently piloting a neurodiverse recruitment program focused on Autism. We'll be working closely with a specialist agency that assists in recruiting talented individuals, training employees on autism acceptance in the workplace, and supporting candidates and managers throughout the placement experience.
We are proud to announce that our U.S. Legal department has achieved Mansfield Certification for the second year in a row! This certification demonstrates that our U.S. Legal department ensured that all talent have fair and equal opportunities to advance, including by expanding the slate of diverse talent considered for leadership positions within our organization. Mansfield Certification, awarded by Diversity Lab, recognizes the actions that legal departments like ours have taken to expand the slate of diverse talent considered for internal legal roles and to increase transparency regarding advancement expectations and qualifications.
From how we hire to closing the gender gap, we encourage the spirit of togetherness. Here are some of our stories:

Proudly celebrating difference
The diversity of our workforce gives us insight to the many different groups of people that are part of the Teva family. One of which is the LGBTQ+ community, which we support through celebrating Pride all year round with talks, marches, and events. We're always seeking to improve how we do things and looking for ways to be more inclusive. Read more about how we're celebrating and supporting the Teva LGBTQ+ Community here.

Teva is Celebrating with Pride
Celebrating and supporting the Teva LGBTQ+ community. We're passionate about caring for our people and empowering our LGBTQ+ colleagues to bring their full selves to the workplace. Our differences set us apart and collectively make us stronger. By removing bias from the workplace, we leverage these differences to co-create, find new ideas and make better decisions.
Nurturing your unique skills
People join us with a range of unique work and life experiences, each offering something.
