Once you're in
No boundaries
Career development is essential to sustaining growth while improving quality. Our employees typically attend two target appraisals a year, where along with their managers they define a preferred career path and set the goals for achieving it. The appraisal puts career direction in the hands of the employee, and allows them to define the actions required to reach those goals – including the support expected from the manager.
We believe that clear goals followed up with individual feedback are the best conditions for developing a life-changing career, to the benefit of both the employee and Novo Nordisk. But as well as working hard to provide opportunities and benefits for existing employees, we also see the need for fresh talent, and always look forward to welcoming people who can bring new energy and perspective to our mission.
Employee development
In order to ensure that you can constantly develop your skills and knowledge, we at Novo Nordisk invest a good part of our turnover in supplementary training. Every year, we spend more than DKK 150 million on training courses for employees so that they can develop both professionally and personally.
In addition to learning through courses, you will have plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training. We believe that experience from your job makes an important contribution to learning. Moreover, you will continuously receive new input from the seminars, conferences and workshops that we arrange and take part in.
In order to ensure the highest quality of our in-house training programme, participants are asked to evaluate the teaching they have received at the end of every completed course.
NovoHealth
We believe that healthy employees create a healthy company, that’s why we have NovoHealth: our worldwide employee health programme striving to provide a workplace that promotes and supports healthy living for all employees. NovoHealth focuses on providing healthy food and beverages to our employees; offers access to regular health checks; access and encouragement to take part in physical activities and as well as providing a smoke-fee workplace also provides guidance and support to employees who wish to stop smoking.
The NovoHealth programme is part of our commitment to life-changing careers.
