Gender Equality at GSK

At GSK, creating an inclusive organisation that respects and promotes the diversity of its employees and the communities it serves is a key focus.

To accelerate GSK’s progress on inclusion and diversity, globally they are focusing on increasing female representation in senior management throughout the organisation.

  • GSK supports the development and career progression of high-performing female managers through their Accelerating Difference programme, which provides coaching and support. GSK also recruits and supports women early in their careers through graduate and apprentice programmes.
  • GSK’s CEO, Emma Walmsley, is the first (and only) woman to run a major pharmaceutical company.
  • Locally, Christi Kelsey and Lizzie Champion lead the pharmaceuticals and vaccines businesses in Australia and New Zealand respectively.
  • GSK proudly celebrates International Women’s Day, a day where their employees collaborate with ‘Dress for Success, to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
  • GSK Australia’s parental leave policy offers all parents paid primary and secondary caregiver leave, taking into consideration the many ways that someone can become a parent (biologically, adoptive, domestic LGBTQI+ partnership and surrogacy/gestational carrier).
