All-Encompassing Culture
Sanjay Vyas, Country Head, PAREXEL India, speaks, “Our culture is strongly rooted in transparency, respect & recognition, innovation and patient centricity”. Embracing the true essence of transparency for an organization, PAREXEL follows the open door policy wherein employees can speak their minds, and provide feedback and suggestions at all levels. To further absorb their opinions, the firm conducts anonymous employee opinion surveys confidentially and provides a hotline for legal support as needed.

Dale Carnegie, the famous American writer & lecturer once said, “People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards”. Recognizing people is one of the most crucial factors for any organization to keep its workforce intact. Moving away from the conventional performance management processes, PAREXEL has adopted a new performance development approach which is entirely conversation-driven. This approach
delivers constructive feedback to employees, aiming to escalate their over all performance and development. Also, PAREXEL provides rewards for well-performing employees and also an online portal that lets them recognize and thank each other on a daily basis.

As an innovation-driven firm, PAREXEL enforces innovation in all its processes and practices while the best ideas of employees are shared across multiple internal forums, acknowledged and implemented effectively. Moreover, PAREXEL puts the patient at the heart of everything they do.
