Eli Lilly says some staff want to leave Indiana because of abortion ban
Some Eli Lilly employees have requested transfers from the company’s Indiana operations following the Republican-controlled state government’s enactment of legislation to ban most abortions in the state.
David Ricks, Lilly’s chief executive, told the Financial Times some staff had asked to relocate outside the state even though an Indiana judge has temporarily halted the proposed ban. The new rules had created challenges for people to come and work in Indiana and if Lilly wanted to attract and retain the best staff it had to grow in other locations, he added.
