Astellas Farma Brasil included in top 3 workplaces

The Great Place to Work Institute recently included Astellas Farma Brasil (AFB) in its top three workplaces in Brazil.

This is the third time that AFB has been included in this list. The 2016 rankings are based on hundreds of surveys from pharmaceutical industry employees, all of whom are based in Brazil.

"This recognition marks the third time Astellas has been named a top pharma industry work place in Brazil,” Luiz Claudio Dutra, general manager, Astellas Farma Brasil, said. “This is a significant achievement for our company, and further validation of our efforts to create a best-in-class environment for employees.”

The Great Place to Work is a worldwide human resources research, consulting, and training company. Its model is established on 25 years of data and research from the company’s Trust Index employee survey; more than 10 million employees from around the world participate in the survey each year.

“At Astellas, we believe that our culture is our competitive advantage,” Fatima Neri, director of Human Resources, AFB, said. “Our passion, sense of purpose and respect for each other inspires bold performance and helps us retain and recruit the best employees.”
