Focus on women

Our Leadership Lens:Focus on women events are part of our global initiative featuring topics designed to inform, inspire, and grow our female talent.

Perrigo understands that a healthy company means investing in its diverse talent. Half of our global workforce are women, an area which leadership is passionate about developing.

As part of our focus on women initiative, Perrigo's International Women’s Day brought together women and men from across the globe and received resounding positive feedback.

Disability awareness

Perrigo works to foster a compassionate and inclusive work environment for individuals that are differently abled. Perrigo is proud to join the Valuable 500 campaign, which calls on 500 global business leaders to make a tangible commitment to addressing disability exclusion in business.

Perrigo has recognized National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) to celebrate the contributions of workers with disabilities, while educating the organization about the strengths they bring to the workplace.  Activities focused on raising employee and manager awareness of the role each of us has in fostering a supportive work culture for people with disabilities.

Veterans day

Veterans are a vital part of our workforce and their service and traditions are recognized and supported through veteran's organizations within the company.

Perrigo Michigan holds an annual veterans day event where a flag raising ceremony is performed by veterans across the company.

The event also brings together members of several branches as a networking experience to share how their service applies to the workplace, and provides a gathering place for service members to come together. 

Pride week

Pride week celebrates the LGBTQ+ community within Perrigo and promotes an accepting environment globally. Perrigo's Dublin location is leading the way by hosting events to demonstrate support for local and global employees who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. 

The Dublin office hosts speakers, events, and advocates to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people across Ireland. The team also takes a 'Pride Stride' through the city, and holds a celebration at the office.

These efforts not only represent the supportive internal culture Perrigo is building, but also demonstrates the values in which we engage with our consumers and customers.
