Denmark-based global healthcare company Novo Nordisk was selected as the “Best Employer” once again by the Great Place to Work® Institute in its 100th year, and ranked third in the Healthcare & Pharma Sector 250-499 employee number category.
Novo Nordisk has been working to change the lives of individuals living with serious chronic diseases such as diabetes, rare diseases and obesity since 1923 in the world and since 1995 in Türkiye. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of its establishment this year, Novo Nordisk rose to the top of the Best Employers list compared to previous years and ranked third in the 250-499 employer category in the pharmaceutical industry in Türkiye. Novo Nordisk, which is managed by the world’s largest foundation Novo Nordisk Foundation and operates in 80 countries, was also in the first place in the global “Best Place to Work” ranking last year.
Jens Pii Olesen, Vice President & General Manager at Novo Nordisk Türkiye, said, “Respect for people is one of the most important principles of our 100-year-old corporate culture. As a result, we have an inclusive work environment where employees value each other and transparent communication is encouraged. As the Novo Nordisk team, we work for a common goal, regardless of our position and the work we do, and that is to improve the lives of people living with chronic diseases in our society. Combined with this common purpose and our business environment, we are among the best employers with high employee engagement and satisfaction. We are very happy to be able to include this success in our celebrations by being in the top three in our 100th anniversary.”
