PharmaRelations certified as Great Place To Work for 5th consecutive year

Having exceptional consultants is the foundation of success for any consulting firm. In service industries, especially those centered on people, excellence in competence, flexibility, and execution is essential. To attract and retain top talent, a company must provide a workplace that aligns with their needs and aspirations.

Understanding this, PharmaRelations started to work with the global consultancy group Great Place to Work years ago to enhance our position as Employer of choice in the Nordic Life Science industry. Over the course of three years, each of our country’s organizations achieved certifications. November 2024 we proudly celebrate the 5th consecutive year of full Nordic certification with excellent results.

While our results remain strong in every region, 2024 has seen a slight dip compared to the consistent stability of previous years. Although the results are still excellent, any downward trend, however small, requires immediate attention.

 “As the new CEO of PharmaRelations, starting in November, I have found the comprehensive data from the Great Place to Work survey conducted in October to be incredibly valuable. Together with my team, I am addressing the key areas for improvement, and I am confident we will return to our exceptional historical trajectory next year. In a consulting business, the trust and satisfaction of our consultants are vital to our success, and we must act quickly to address even minor challenges,” says Åsa Uppströmer, CEO of PharmaRelations Group.
