Equality, diversity and inclusion are woven into our cultural fabric. Our employees are ethnically diverse, internationally trained and speak 40 different languages!
CCRM’s Equality, Professionalism and Inclusiveness Council (E.P.I.C.) brings our employees together to celebrate diversity and learn from each other. About a quarter of CCRM’s employees are members of E.P.I.C.’s organizing council. They volunteer their time to host cultural events, recognize religious holidays, and organize professional development and educational activities. E.P.I.C. has three main objectives: 1) Celebrate and recognize the great diversity of individuals within our organization; 2) Help all individuals, especially those in underrepresented groups, to grow professionally; and 3) Empower individuals to make a contribution at work and in their communities.
Phacilitate has published an ebook that looks at diversity and inclusion (D&I) activities taking place in selected advanced therapies companies. The ebook not only celebrates the companies leading the way, but also hopes to inspire others to take steps towards creating a more inclusive culture in biotech. Highlights include eight practical ways to foster D&I in the cell and gene therapy field (page 4), and an overview of those activities at CCRM (page 11). View and download Phacilitate’s ebook.
