OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR CULTURE
INCLUSION, EQUITY, AND BELONGING
Our success depends on the status quo challengers, both visionaries and creators. Developing treatments for patients requires a dynamic perspective, cultivated through a culture where everyone feels included.
We believe that an inclusive, performance-based work environment is critical for driving innovation and the development of new cell therapies. We foster an open and collaborative culture based on merit, where talented candidates are considered for opportunities based on their skills, abilities, and performance.
We stand committed to:
- Promoting inclusion in all aspects of business operations, optimizing the continued growth and success of the biotechnology industry
- Championing workforce development, keeping belonging as a top priority is the best way to attract, develop, and retain the employee talent pool within the globally competitive biotechnology industry
- Leading by example and be outward-facing in our efforts, expanding our commitment to inclusion, equity, and belonging with our external partners
In addition to inclusion, equity, and belonging, we value:
- Science that brings meaningful results to patients
- Healthy debate and a sense of humor
- Empowerment, decisiveness and making progress happen
- Transparency and honesty
What gets measured gets managed. We recognize that meaningful change requires accountability. As part of a comprehensive approach to inclusion, equity, and belonging at Nkarta, we rely on data to identify gaps, set priorities, and enable ongoing measurement of our progress. We publish these data in the spirit of shared responsibility and accountability.
