We believe that by diversifying and strengthening our knowledge of real-word challenges, we will create better outcomes for patients worldwide. 

Our approach to DE&I reflects our Company values – manifested by our commitments to Challenge the Status Quo, Collaborate to Deliver Solutions, and be Passionate to Save Lives.

Our Values

At Syneos Health, three simple values guide us in unlocking potential, driving growth and shaping our unified culture: 

Challenge the status quo 

"We’ve always done it this way” doesn’t apply here. Partnering with our customers, we advance complex therapies and the channels we use to reach physicians and patients in more meaningful ways. We dig in and think differently. We see what exists and ask how we can make it better. We find new solutions, ensuring they reflect the high-quality standards our customers deserve. 

Ultimately, patients are waiting for a therapy that could change their lives. 

Collaborate to deliver solutions 

Each day we get to call upon some of the industry’s most dynamic, thought-provoking colleagues. Together, we are committed to our customers’ success. We work across our company, and across our disciplines, sharing ideas, respecting one another’s opinions and providing constructive feedback. It’s this dynamic, that makes Syneos Health different. We know that collaboration with our colleagues and with our customers unlocks creativity, innovation and new solutions. 

Passionate to change lives 

Each life we positively impact makes our work worthwhile. To us, a patient isn’t a number; she is a family member, he is a colleague, and they are our neighbors. We’re motivated by the promise of science to positively impact the health of our communities. We hold ourselves accountable to leverage our diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences as we partner side-by-side with our customers. This passion for patients fuels our vision to accelerate the impact of life changing therapies worldwide. 

Total-Self Culture

We are continuously building the company we all want to work for, and our customers want to work with. That’s why our efforts not only benefit our colleagues, they are also key to addressing and solving complex business needs and challenges for Syneos Health and our customers. 

We celebrate our talent, we live our Values and we won’t tolerate discrimination of any type. 

We take pride in creating an environment where our employees – of all backgrounds and beliefs, including: Race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, mental, physical and invisible disabilities and veteran status – are encouraged to bring their Total Selves to work each day and embrace our culture. 

What We Offer

At Syneos Health, we believe that our organization’s success is a result of the people who are driving it – our employees. We value and support our employees, and that is why we are focused on offering a comprehensive benefits program that concentrates on our employees’ physical, mental, and financial health and supports them in living a more fulfilling life

We value and support our employees and understand they have a life outside of work. We provide flexible working which allows our employees to have a fantastic work-life balance. Flexible working is designed to empower our employees to shift away from the standard work agreement to better suit the needs of employees around the globe.
