What makes us tick
Many elements, one direction
Our culture is built on collaboration between people, departments, functions and the surrounding society – it’s how we generate sustainable results, and why we have an exceptional level of engagement and retention among existing employees.
At Novo Nordisk, we have clearly defined values. One of these is to be ambitious. This means you should always strive to become better at what you do. We give our employees the greatest freedom to manage and drive their career: to work at Novo Nordisk it is important that you can think and act for yourself.
Our working environment is a transparent one. Across departments and hierarchy we share information, reasoning and processes because we are all working towards the same goal: to change the lives of people within our focused disease states.
This success means our shareholders are happy, our stakeholders are happy and the local communities that we give back to embrace our commitment to the environment and the mark we leave on their neighbourhood.
That’s the Novo Nordisk way. That’s why our careers are life-changing careers.
Prioritising the right balance
In addition to having a career with a global impact, you can be sure that we are working to ensure a natural balance between work and leisure time.
As more people find that the boundaries between work and leisure are increasingly dissolving, we have introduced flexitime arrangements in many places, including the opportunity to work from home via an ADSL connection – which we pay for. Flexitime can be an essential advantage, especially if you have children.
Novo Nordisk considers it important to make sure that our employees stay fit and healthy. Our NovoHealth programme helps our employees adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle while working for Novo Nordisk. At many of our locations we have leisure centres and organise physical activities. The centres are staffed with instructors who can help set up personal programmes.
