Making a
difference
for you
... while you make a
difference in the world
With an 80-year history of innovation and pioneering work
within the global scientific community, PerkinElmer turns
ideas into solutions to solve significant global challenges

A

s a global organisation of
a nearly 14,000, we know
that diversity of people,
ideas, backgrounds and
approaches is what fosters innovation.
In the UK and across world, our work is
powered by leading scientists, researchers,
clinicians and individuals who apply their
expertise in myriad fields. Only through
commitment to diversity can we unlock
the solutions that will serve the world over.
Our mission is to enable our teams
to address the most critical global
challenges across science and healthcare.
It's an approach built on innovation,
collaboration and knowledge sharing.
We strive to create environments where
our talented teams have all they need to
change the world around them. Working
together, they create healthier families,
improve quality of lives and help to sustain
our wellbeing and longevity as a society.

Diversity and equality

Innovation requires diversity. Embracing
a broader range of perspectives,
backgrounds and experience challenges

helps our people to think differently,
pose different questions and consider
new ideas. However, there are
barriers to overcome to achieve true
diversity and equality within the
science and technology sector.
In 2020, we appointed our first
global diversity manager to maintain
our focus and commitment to a
culturally diverse workforce. We strive
to reduce our gender pay gap, and
last year women accounted of 37%
of our UK team. We can do more.
This is only the start of our journey
and we are asking more to join us.

Career development

For our team to thrive, we must
support everyone to develop, achieve
their goals and break down barriers.
That's why on-the-job training,
mentoring, career development
planning and external training are
central to life at PerkinElmer.

Dr Krystelle
Mafina

ASSOCIATE UVS
AND TEA PRODUCT
MANAGER
" I made my move from academia
to industry as a field application
specialist for the export region, after
completing my PhD in biomedical
biomaterials science. After travelling
for training and conferences, building
my network, I was recognised by
a member of PerkinElmer during
a lab visit and headhunted.
" PerkinElmer was very supportive
of my move from academia, and
provides great employee support for
career development. Both manager
and employee must set yearly goals,
including external professional
courses, which I found useful and
helped me build up my skills further.
" This is still a new role for me
and there's a lot to learn but I
don't feel alone - PerkinElmer
has provided me with a great
team. It has been challenging yet
fun and continues to be so. "
