Company Achieves Top Honor at the 2019 American
Business Awards®
- Medidata’s Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) program honored for its innovative approach
and contributions to patients, employees, students and the
environment
- More than 200 professionals worldwide
participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie
Award winners
Medidata (NASDAQ: MDSO) won a Gold Stevie Award in the
‘Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year’ category at
the 17th Annual American Business Awards.
The company’s award winning corporate social responsibility
program is built upon three pillars: “access for all” to provide
all patients access to treatment, STEM education, and gender
equality in the workplace. Medidata’s CSR activities highlighted by
judges include:
- Skill-Based Volunteer
Opportunities: Medidata encourages numerous skill-based
volunteer opportunities, such as the Social Innovation Lab (SIL)—an
internal talent program and think tank that works with nonprofits
to advance Medidata’s mission to cure diseases and create a
healthier world. Employees from across the organization leverage
their expertise in small teams to solve issues impacting the life
science industry, partnering with organizations such as Castleman
Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN), Lazarex Cancer Foundation,
and Cures Within Reach.
- Employee Volunteer
Opportunities: Medidata provides each employee with one day off
for a volunteer activity of their choice. That is in addition to
over 100 volunteer initiatives across the globe, including
charitable runs, career days for students, community-based projects
that help the environment, blood drives, and our health week.
- Creating a Culture of Belonging:
Medidata’s Business Resource Groups (BRGs) align with the company's
CSR goals and their mission and charters. The Diversity &
Belonging team has updated policies, procedures, and trainings to
create a more inclusive environment.
“We’re extremely proud of the efforts of our CSR team and
employees to create a better world. Our program embodies Medidata’s
core mission, and we’re thrilled the team’s hard work was
recognized by the American Business Awards,” said Jill Larsen, EVP,
chief human resources officer, Medidata.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business
awards program. More than 3,800 nominations from organizations of
all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year
for consideration in a wide range of categories.
More than 200 professionals worldwide participated in the
judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.
According to one judge, “Medidata is a great example of a
company that truly is ‘out of the box’ in its approach to giving
back in the communities it serves. Their collaborative approach to
skills- based volunteering is really inspirational- embracing
people's strengths to benefit the greater good.”
