00:00:00.443 --> 00:00:01.913
My name is Briar Jallad

2
00:00:01.914 --> 00:00:04.143
and I've been with Parexel for eight years.

3
00:00:04.330 --> 00:00:05.976
One thing that caught my eye when

4
00:00:05.977 --> 00:00:08.457
I was looking at Parexel as a company to work for

5
00:00:08.458 --> 00:00:11.657
was their messaging around work-life balance.

6
00:00:11.957 --> 00:00:14.429
And now that I've been here for a number of years,

7
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:17.957
I can confirm it is a priority at Parexel.

8
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.480
From our day-to-day teams to line managers

9
00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:24.200
to senior management, it is part of our culture here at Parexel

10
00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:26.316
to really make sure that we define

11
00:00:26.516 --> 00:00:28.640
a path that works for each team member.

12
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.108
And what that looks like for everyone

13
00:00:30.143 --> 00:00:31.049
may be a bit different.

14
00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:34.200
For me, I've been able to grow within my role.

15
00:00:34.230 --> 00:00:38.200
I started as a Project Leader and have now moved into

16
00:00:38.314 --> 00:00:41.529
Associate Project Director within Project Leadership.

17
00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:44.760
And during that time, as I was moving along that path,

18
00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:47.086
I was able to take maternity leave for

19
00:00:47.502 --> 00:00:50.300
each of my three kids and still be able to

20
00:00:50.371 --> 00:00:54.471
set those goals and reach them by finding that balance.

21
00:00:54.850 --> 00:00:57.097
And it's something that I know I work with

22
00:00:57.098 --> 00:01:00.389
my teams as a Project Leader to be able to find that balance.

23
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:02.944
What works for each one of us may look different,

24
00:01:03.144 --> 00:01:04.560
but being able to work together

25
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:09.210
to find what that work-life balance is, is a key element at Parexel.

26
00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:11.360
And what makes Parexel a great place to work.
