Why It Matters
To Lilly:
We strive for Lilly to be a place where people do work that matters, build careers they are proud of, and contribute to something larger than themselves. That starts with supporting the whole person - their health, their financial security, and the life they lead outside of work.
To the World:
When people are well supported, they show up for their teams, their families, and the communities around them. We believe that investing in employee well-being doesn't just make Lilly a better workplace; it makes us better at what we are here to do.
Approach
Money
Our base pay program is designed to help employees meet their day-to-day needs, while our bonus and stock programs deliver additional rewards aligned with our company mission of delivering medicines to patients worldwide. To further unite and motivate our workforce, we periodically augment our annual pay programs with the issuance of a special global stock grant known as Lilly Shares, which provides all eligible employees the opportunity to be shareholders in Lilly. In many countries, we also invest in financial benefits - pensions and/or savings programs, disability benefits for financial protection, life insurance for peace of mind and educational support for continued learning and development. Collectively, our pay, stock, and benefits programs support our employees in reaching their financial goals.
We conduct pay equity studies on our workforce globally and believe that pay equity is critical to our success in supporting a global and inclusive workforce.
Life
We believe in building meaningful family, social and community relationships and investing time with loved ones and activities that bring joy. We offer support to employees to help balance the personal and professional aspects of life. While our employee benefits programs vary around the world, these may include flexible work arrangements, onsite conveniences, and time off to disconnect - whether for vacation or in times of injury, illness, or compassionate care emergencies.
Our global recognition program allows teammates to recognize one another regardless of work location through supervisor-to-employee, peer-to-peer and service-based recognition. Employees may congratulate co-workers’ successes through the companywide recognition feed, providing a consistent and meaningful recognition experience across the organization.
