We aim to attract and retain a diverse workforce and to cultivate an inclusive culture that promotes equal opportunity and treatment, including pay equity. At EVERSANA INTOUCH, we believe in building a community of unique creators to foster a sense of belonging and inspire the highest level of individual contributions toward our goals.

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Journey

Our diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy aligns our diversity goals and objectives to wider company goals and objectives. We engage a range of key stakeholders in our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives including our workforce, partners, clients, and local communities.

Always Learning: We provide a variety of educational experiences to increase self-awareness, multicultural competency, and inclusive behavior.

  • Brave Space training
  • Black History Month celebration featuring virtual recipe event
  • International Women’s Day panel
  • Women in STEM & Healthcare panel
  • Mental Health Awareness Hug Your Mind program including keynote speaker and roundtable
  • PRIDE Month roundtable discussions and documentary viewings

Always Growing: We reach and engage with new communities of candidates and develop a deeper understanding of current under-represented staff.

  • Our campus recruiting activities include targeted outreach and engagement at diversity career fairs in local Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or campuses with a relatively high population of underrepresented minority students.
  • In partnership with RippleMatch, a platform dedicated to connecting employers with underrepresented, high performing, entry-level candidates, we have hired several students for our annual internship program and have reached 10,000 students in over 700 schools, including over 40 HCBUs.

Always Improving: We develop and integrate inclusive practices and anti-racist policies for ourselves and our clients.

  • In October 2021, EVERSANA INTOUCH formed an alliance with The Chrysalis Initiative (TCI) to enhance and extend the nonprofit’s mission to disrupt outcome disparities that exist in healthcare, specifically among women of color in the breast cancer community. Together, and in collaboration with KTC ATL, the organizations developed the new BC Navi (short for Breast Cancer Navigation) website, patient portal, and app to provide breast cancer patients with resources to support them in understanding and advocating for equitable care. EVERSANA INTOUCH also created the dynamic “Erase the Line” campaign, highlighting outcome disparities by encouraging BC Navi registrations by women of color who are fighting breast cancer.
  • In January 2020, EVERSANA INTOUCH became one of the first healthcare agencies to include preferred gender pronouns in employee email signatures. https://www.pharmalive.com/intouch-group-network-2020/

  • Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA), a global nonprofit furthering the advancement and impact of women in the business of healthcare.
