Striving to Build a Founder Culture to Attract and Retain Talents
The Top Employers Institute program certifies organizations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. The survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Wellbeing and more.
The institute is deeply impressed by Organon’s founder culture that encourage entrepreneurship to achieve both operational excellence and business growth. For example, the company collects innovative ideas submitted by employees every quarter and launches a special program. By the end of 2022, the company has collected a total of 112 employees’ innovative ideas, and 11 ideas of them have been adopted and put into real-life practice, which not only encourages creativity, but also helps improve operation efficiency.
In terms of knowledge and skill, Organon China launches its people strategy with three pillars on “cross-functional knowledge and expertise, learning ability to actively respond to changes, and agility in the VUCA era”. For example, the company launched “Galaxy Academy”— a signature training platform in China for new managers and high-potential talents by providing diversified training programs, encouraging employees to lead the change, enabling the sustainable development of the organization and contributing to company’s goal and strategy.
Creating An “Ideal Workplace” for Employees with Diversity and Inclusion
Organon believes that an “ideal workplace” not only consists of open, fluid and collaborative space where new ideas flourish, but also a workplace with people who team up and ready to make her health different and grow together in achieving shared mission.
The company supports employees by providing competitive compensation and benefits, customized learning resources, tailored-made career development pathway as well as diverse, friendly and balanced working environment.
For example, every China employee is entitled to have “Focus Day”(every Friday) for working remotely. On the International Women’s Day, Organon was also designating the date as a day to recognize the growing health disparities women face, providing paid time off for all employees to attend to their own health needs and make a commitment to the health of the women in their lives or reflecting on how to make a change. Moreover, Organon China also took a series of actions to support its employees during COVID pandemic in terms of food and health supplies, physical and mental health support as well as remote work assistance.
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organizations. And we have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Program this year: exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2023. These employers have always shown that they care for the development and well-being of their people. By doing so, they collectively enrich the world of work.”
