Diversity gives you access to a greater range of talent, not just the talent that belongs to a particular world-view or ethnicity or some other restricting definition. It helps provide insight into the needs and motivations of all of your client or customer base, rather than just a small part of it.
One way this is being addressed in the Pharmaceutical industry is with a group called Women in Pharma (WIP) in ISPE.
On today’s episode, I am joined by Jennifer Lauria Clark from CAI. Jenn has worked on the WIP committee both locally in the Southeast and with ISPE International for a few years. It continues to gain momentum and have a TON of energy at all the ISPE events around the world. Jenn was kind enough to spend some time with me while we were both at the 2021 ISPE Annual Meeting in Boston to discuss:
Why she thinks Women in Pharma has such momentum? Why is diversity (in this case women) so important in the workplace?
Where are we seeing some of the biggest successes around the world in with the Women In Pharma efforts?
How is Women in Pharma an advantage to our industry as we “compete” for new talenting coming out of universities around the world?
We'd love feedback on this episode and others and more subjects that are important to you in the industry. Please reach out with any questions or suggestions at modernbiopharm@gmail.com
