Our benefits programs are designed to promote the health and well-being of our people and their families. They are an integral part of our total rewards program and align with best practice, legislation and our business objectives and strategy. By offering whole-person and flexible benefits to every member of our team, we are able to attract and retain top talent that helps make Agios a leading developer of therapies to treat rare diseases.
Investing in our people
The people of Agios are core to our success. They enable us to bring life-changing treatments to people who need them most. But if we don’t care for ourselves, how can we care for others?
Benefits that work for everyone
That’s why we invest in the health, well-being and security of our people by providing competitive compensation and a premium benefits package that is well-rounded and flexible to help meet the varied personal and professional needs of every member of our team.
Equitable pay
and perks
Our compensation strategy is connected to our business strategy. Each year, we establish specific short- and long-term goals for our organization. We connect these goals to our company competencies, which set the standards for how our people can contribute to Agios’ success. We then reward members of our team based on how and what they achieve.
Our competitive, performance-based compensation aligns with industry practice:
- Base compensation reflects the key areas of responsibility, job characteristics, required experience, and skill set. Base compensation is reviewed annually, and any increases reflect merit, based on performance, as well as market movements. We also regularly review data to ensure pay equity.
- Variable compensation includes short-term incentives (base bonus) and long-term incentives (stock options and restricted stock units).
