Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Across Takeda, we embrace and celebrate diversity, while striving to give patients and our people equitable access to opportunities that help them achieve their full potential. We take a values-based approach to inclusive patient experiences, inclusive work environments, workforce diversity and sustainable societal impact. We believe that diverse perspectives and experiences are key drivers of innovation. This starts with fostering an environment that creates a sense of belonging, allowing not only for everyone to have a voice, but a voice that is heard and valued.

Creating a sense of belonging

Hayden Majajas, Takeda Head of Global DE&I, explores the importance of belonging in the workplace — from building psychological safety to cultivating a space that encourages groundbreaking new ideas.

Takeda Resource Groups

Takeda Resource Groups (TRGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups composed of members with similar backgrounds and interests. Together, they collaborate to build professional networks, support their communities and educate allies who are ready to learn more.

TRGs are open to all employees, not just those who identify with a particular community, and play a vital role in building a more inclusive environment.
