Our company is driven very strongly by our purpose and our patient centred approach. You can feel this from any Novo Nordisk employee, anywhere in the world. We have a strong heritage which we are very proud about, and because we are majority foundation owned, Novo Nordisk have the self confidence to make solid long term plans.
How would you describe your corporate culture?
A purpose driven culture which is also proudly rooted in Danish values of collaboration, teamwork, lack of hierarchy, and respect for each other. In Thailand we like to call ourselves the Novo Nordisk Thailand Family, and that nicely explains our local twist on our corporate culture.
What continuing learning opportunities do you offer ?
Our employees are given many opportunities to learn and develop, and we believe in offering these in different ways. Online learning on almost any topic is open to anyone. On the job learning, project based experiences, mentoring, and short term internal assignments are common. Furthermore we encourage cross department, and cross-border development with Short Term Assignments of 3-12 months in other teams, functions, and in some cases other countries.
Describe some initiatives adopted by your organization during the Covid 19 pandemic to engage the employees ?
We do a lot. In the interests of inclusion, during Work from Home, we try to create a mix of fun, light-hearted, educational, inspirational, and business focussed activities. Some examples of these range from Song of the day -via company Line group, Kahoot! Quizzes via MS Teams each week, Themed selfie photo competition each week, Leadership Lounge talks from management team members, Who inspires me- talks, Career talks from managers, Every Friday “Company Meeting” from GM, and even some surprise home delivery of pizza and ice cream occasionally!
