More employees are looking for leaders who role model, care, and encourage flexibility. Great workplaces show a genuine commitment to nurturing disruptive innovation.

According to our study, contrary to popular trends, when compared to previous years, employees are experiencing a lower sentiment in their overall employee experience.

Intentional collaborative work cultures especially in healthcare companies often lead to better solutions that can benefit the world at large. What will help organizations more than ever is a strong focus on developing effective leaders, promoting a mindset of equity and inclusion, and setting a strong foundation to encourage curiosity and new thinking at their workplace. Best Workplaces in Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare and Biotech have excelled at focusing on all three aspects.
