Moving Forward, Giving Back: The ROI of Social Impact

Kura Oncology’s President & CEO, Troy Wilson, joined Life Science Cares on their Moving Forward, Giving Back podcast to speak to the importance of social impact and philanthropic work and the return on investment (ROI) in a corporate setting.

Kura’s efforts, in tandem with Life Science Cares, support the potential for near-term local impact and long-term systemic impact in the local communities of San Diego and Boston, and help to create a true culture of care across the team.

Troy and the Kura team see social impact as a key measure of success. In fact, since Kura amped up its social impact efforts, the company has seen lower employee turnover rates compared to the industry average. Through pulse surveys, they can in part attribute this to the space Kura leadership provides for employees to give back within work hours, and to causes and organizations aligned with their values and located in their own communities.

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear perspectives from Troy along with host Morgan Berman, Executive Director of Life Science Cares Philadelphia, and guests Kate Wilson, President of the Gilead Sciences Foundation, Matthew Gline, CEO of Roivant Sciences, and Tom Croce, Vice President of Global Patient Advocacy at Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
