 involuntary attrition, Veeva strives to be both fair and nimble with respect to the employee separation process. In the U.S., we provide a standard separation period with continued pay and benefits coverage that allows separated employees reasonable time to transition to a new employer with pay and continued health coverage. In Europe and Asia, we offer standard severance terms to ensure that all employees in the respective region are treated fairly and consistently. |

We believe the employment practices listed above are, in part, responsible for our success in attracting and retaining talented employees, and in fiscal 2025, we increased our employee headcount by 119.
