With advanced Diversity & Inclusion beliefs, Walgreens values the fact that diverse teams improve performance, drive growth and enhance engagement among their teams. As a pharmacist with the organization, you also have to embrace the fact that you will be working with a very culturally diverse base of customers. Your interviewer needs to be assured that you would join Walgreens with the ability to embrace diversity in all that you work with.

There are a couple of things you'll definitely want to highlight when asked to discuss embracing diversity at Walgreens. First, you'll want to talk about your ability to work as part of a diverse team in the pharmacy. If you have experience working among a diverse team of individuals, talk about the highlights of that experience. Then you'll want to discuss the diverse customer base that you'll be working closely with as a Walgreens pharmacist. To reiterate your ability to embrace, talk about the importance of cultural differences in the overall success of Walgreens as a whole.

"In a successful retail operation like Walgreens has, any customer is welcome and the same holds true in the pharmacy. I know that I'll be working closely with patients from many cultural backgrounds and my ability to provide education in an understandable manner is vital for people that may not grasp the drug they are being described or their instructions. In my current role, I feel very fortunate to work with a staff that are from many different cultural backgrounds. This helps enrich our work environment and spark great conversations and I'm looking forward to bringing this same open mindset to the Walgreens pharmacy team."
