Novartis associates value communication and strive to improve working relationships between departments. Associates also value the training and development programmes Novartis provides.

 

Customers at the centre of our strategy

Across the UK, our customers are at the centre of our strategy, guiding our daily actions. This focus applies equally to all divisions, whether manufacturing, R&D, pharmaceuticals or consumer health - and whether our customers are patients, GPs, veterinarians, pharmacists, MPs or the public.

 

Global Cultural Initiatives

A number of global initiatives embody life at Novartis. They include a Global Diversity Council, whose emphasis is on embracing differences.
