Astra Zeneca
What sort of people work for the firm?
Attracting and retaining staff is a problem made more acute by the currently 'tight' labour market. But in pharmaceuticals especially, there is competition amongst companies for skilled human resources. AstraZeneca place considerable emphasis on their people management and the results of the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For survey indicate that they are having some success.
The company were ranked at number 46 in the survey, after the views of 250 employees were recorded. The survey involved staff commenting on issues such as job satisfaction, teamwork and trust.
