Grünenthal selected as one of the best employers in Europe for the third time

Aachen (ots) - Grünenthal has qualified as one of the 25 Best
Multinational Workplaces in Europe this year. After 2012 and 2013,
this is the third time that Grünenthal, a science-based
pharmaceutical company headquartered in Germany, is being awarded in
this category. National successes in Italy, Portugal and Spain were
the reasons for the decision by the Great Place to Work® (GPtW®)
Institute.

This year's winners were rewarded at a ceremony at the Athens
Concert Hall in Athens, Greece. Mark Fladrich, Chief Commercial
Officer Grünenthal, received the award on behalf of the three winning
Grünenthal countries. "We are very proud on this great achievement
driven by our employees in Italy, Portugal and Spain. It shows that
continuous striving for excellence and engagement is key to become a
Great a Place to Work®." Heinz-Gerd Suelmann, Head Global Human
Resources, emphasizes the significance of the regularly conducted
GPtW® survey: "We are honored to be awarded as a great workplace
among the exclusive group of organizations that focus on creating and
sustaining a high-trust and high-performing culture for its people."
Conducting employees' surveys has been an integral part of
Grünenthal's corporate culture since 2009.

More than 1.6 million employees from 2,800 companies across Europe
participated in the survey for the 2018 Best Workplaces in Europe
list. The ranking assessed employees' perspectives on leadership,
innovation, inclusion, organizational culture, and trust. Europe's
Best Workplaces create cultures that are welcoming, friendly, and
inclusive. 93 % of employees at this year's best workplaces say
they're proud of their workplaces and 92 % say they can be themselves
at work.
