Gileados Impact
Enhancing Benefits
Gileados partnered with the benefits team to launch a student loan repayment initiative. As a result of this collaboration, Gilead provides employees with a contribution of up to $9,000. Since the program’s inception, Gilead has made more than $2.8 million in student loan payments.
Holiday Toy Drive
Each year, Gileados celebrates the holiday spirit with a toy drive conducted in partnership with a Bay Area-based nonprofit that support Hispanic and Latino communities. Employees gather to donate items, wrap gifts and distribute them to families in need. Hundreds of items are donated every year.
Cultural Awareness
Gileados shares our employee stories throughout the year via panel discussions and presentations that showcase our rich and diverse heritage. This includes our Elevating Latina Leaders Advancing Success (ELLAS) leadership discussions, our Cinco de Mayo history presentations and Hispanic Heritage Month marquee events in Foster City and satellite chapters.
