Diversity and inclusion
Diversity is in our DNA
Our journey to value diverse voices
The formation of Fortrea started with listening, gathering perspectives and asking for feedback. Now, with team members across more than 90 countries, we continue to seek out each distinct voice across our organization. Join us on our journey as we encourage engagement, build trust, and strive to create a more inclusive workplace.
Diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA. At Fortrea, you can embrace your uniqueness, be valued and create extraordinary outcomes as part of our inclusive organization.
Fortrea’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is the foundation of our work to build a global team that delivers a lasting impact on healthcare.

By listening to each other, we believe we can feel truly heard, involved and included—and harness the strength of our collective vision for diversity.
