At IQVIA, we know making a positive impact in the world matters to our employees and that they appreciate an environment where they can make a difference. That’s why each year IQVIANs are offered a paid volunteer day to support their passion for giving back through a program known as IQVIA Day. 

In October 2021, more than 20 Q² Solutions team members in Bangalore used their IQVIA Day to distribute donations to over 100 accredited social health activists (ASHA) working on the front line to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Identified ASHA workers, who interface between the community and the public health system, were each gifted 15 kilos of groceries, a saree, feminine products and personal protective equipment. In addition to distributing items, IQVIA volunteers had the opportunity to speak with the activists about COVID-19 best practices, mask wearing and other safety and hygiene protocols.  

“It was a memorable day for all of us,” said Shashikala Menon, senior director, Q² Solutions. “Despite the challenges in 2021, this day of giving reminded us that we are resilient and that there are ways to help. The smiles on the activists’ faces were a testimony that our gesture, although small, was well received and appreciated. Some had tears in their eyes, while some sang a thank you song. We thank IQVIA for allocating a day to serve our community."
