Sanofi is aiming to be the first pharma company to scale AI, but real success goes beyond tech
In this session, Raj Verma, Chief Culture, Inclusion & Employee Experience Officer, reveals how Sanofi is weaving culture, inclusion, and employee experience into its digital transformation to keep it human at heart. After a strategic company reset, Sanofi introduced many digital employee touchpoints as key drivers of change, including Bravo!, the company's recognition platform. Bravo! is becoming a powerful lever for driving culture change, building inclusion, and helping employees adopt new behaviours aligned with Sanofi's AI transformation goals. Raj will explore how recognition and culture design are supporting Sanofi's AI ambitions, and how HR leaders can lead similar efforts in their own organizations. He'll unpack how his team was designed to lead the people strategy through the lens of culture, inclusion, and experience, sharing lessons from policies, processes, and practices while offering actionable ideas for aligning transformation with what matters most to people.
This is a session about storytelling that makes everyone feel like the protagonist, because when people see themselves in the journey, transformation becomes personal.
