Great Place to Work® Designates Selexis as One of the Best Workplaces™ Switzerland for Fourth Straight Year
GENEVA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Selexis SA, a JSR Life Sciences company, announced today that Great Place to Work® has designated the Company among the “Best Workplaces™ Switzerland” in 2021. Selexis joins companies across a broad range of industries whose employees believe their workplace culture possesses effective leadership, holds meaningful values and encourages high levels of trust. Selexis earned this same distinction in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
“In my short time as CEO of Selexis, it’s become clear to me that there is one reason this company has earned this designation for the fourth consecutive year — its dedicated team,” said Dirk Lange, chief executive officer, Selexis. “As we continue to work during this unprecedented global pandemic, I’m inspired by my colleagues’ encouragement of one another, while we remain committed to serving our biopharmaceutical partners with excellence and without interruption. We are grateful for Great Place to Work’s recognition and the valuable learnings we leverage from this process each year to improve employee satisfaction.”
Among the highlights from the employee satisfaction questionnaire:
- 100% of Selexis employees said that they were treated fairly regardless of age or race or sexual orientation, 98% indicated that they were treated fairly regardless of gender;
- 90% of employees were proud to tell others they worked for the Company;
- 93% indicated “people care about each other;” and;
- 98% said Selexis is a physically safe place to work.
The research institute uses two methods to evaluate a company’s merit. First, employees answer an anonymous survey focused on attributes in workplace culture believed to inspire trust, such as credibility, respect, fairness and camaraderie. Second, the company’s corporate culture and HR practices are audited. Scores from the survey and audit are then used to determine how the company ranks.
Added Cornelia Schättle, co-owner and consultant, Great Place to Work: “For many organizations, the award represents a milestone in their journey toward a new workplace culture that empowers and engages employees, is more agile, more innovative and strengthens the performance of the entire organization. Reaching this milestone generates pride among all employees and also serves as a credible external endorsement.”
