AbbVie stands out as the only pharma company on Best Workplaces list

AbbVie Australia has been named on the 2024 Australia’s Best Workplaces list by Great Place to Work for the 11th consecutive year, applauding their employees who each individually create the culture that has led to the recognition, year on year.

The Best Workplaces list, announced at the Best Workplaces industry event hosted by Great Place To Work at W Hotel Sydney, announces 100 organisations in four different categories which represent over 144,500 employee voices across different industries in Australia. 

Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia, highlighted that employees are placing a heightened emphasis on fundamental needs like security and stability, and are increasingly seeking trustworthy leadership.

Moulynox pointed out a pivotal change in workplace dynamics, stating, “As external challenges intensify, employees increasingly value leaders who are not only consistent and ethical but also transparent. The growing scepticism towards executive teams underscores the need for leaders to not only implement decisive actions but also to communicate these actions clearly and openly.”

AbbVie Australia ranked 22nd in the 2024 Best Workplaces list, medium category (up from 24th place in 2023), with 91% of employees agreeing that AbbVie is a great place to work.

Nathalie McNeil, Vice President and General Manager, AbbVie Australia and New Zealand, said this recognition is testament to the people of AbbVie, and is not a leadership award.

“It’s undeniable how strong our culture is, and it is a testament to the people. Our standards are high, we work hard, we care about the patients we are serving, and we are constantly reinventing ourselves to do better,” she said.

The culture at AbbVie is characterised by a strong sense of camaraderie and care among employees, who feel empowered to make a positive impact and can be their true selves at work. There is a shared belief that the company’s culture fosters equity, diversity, and inclusion, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

McNeil added, “Recent years have proven that change is constant. Despite the challenges this creates, I am so proud of the AbbVie team who each show up every day and contribute to making this one of the best workplaces in Australia. This accolade is truly in recognition of them.

“We value a diverse workforce, and our people tell us they feel recognised and appreciated for the work
they do. Embracing Equity, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion is not just a choice, but an integral part of
our principles and identity. It shapes the way we work, treat one another, and ultimately drives our success.”

One of AbbVie’s employees, Huw Phillips, National Sales Manager reflects on his career journey with AbbVie and says: “AbbVie has given me more career development opportunities and life experiences than I can ever wish for. I have found the right place to work.”
