"Defending the title is always more difficult than winning it for the first time. But greater pressure motivates us to think about how we can bring the company closer to our employees, how we can take even better care of them and create an even better working environment. For us, the Top Employer certification is not only an award for doing things right, but also important feedback, motivation and inspiration for our next steps in creating a great place to work," comments on the certification Ines Windisch, Head of HR, Communication & Sustainability at Zentiva.

For the second year Czech Republic & Romania have received the Top Employer 2023 certification. This important certification was obtained following a complex audit carried out by the renowned Top Employer Institute through which the company had to prove an exceptional level of best practices in the relationship with its employees in 20 areas including leadership, business & people strategy, human resources strategy, environment work, talent acquisition, performance, career, wellbeing, ethics and integrity diversity and inclusion.

The Top Employer Institute is a globally respected authority that recognizes and rewards quality in HR. This contributes to the improvement and enrichment of the working environment. Through the Top Employer Institute certification program, participating companies can be evaluated and certified as a Top Employer. The Top Employer Institute was founded more than 30 years ago, during which time more than 2,052 companies from 121 countries/regions have received Top Employer certification.

Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations. 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.“

We are proud of this prestigious award as it signals our commitment to our employees and our mission to provide high-quality, affordable medicines.
Please join us and congratulate the Czech Republic and Romania on this important recognition!
