Siemens Healthineers has been certified as a ‘great place to work’, following feedback from employees across the UK voting in an anonymised survey. Questions were focused on criteria such as credibility, fairness, respect, camaraderie, honesty and pride.
The Great Place to Work scheme helps organisations create high performing workplaces where employees feel trusted and valued. It was established in the UK in 2000 and helps business leaders around the world to adopt models and methodologies to measure and create great workplaces.
In the UK, Siemens Healthineers has approximately 2,000 employees, with manufacturing sites in Oxford, Llanberis and Sudbury. Employees at these sites support the design, manufacture and assembly of key medical equipment, including super- conducting magnets for MRI scanners, Immulite reagents used in blood analysers and specialist instruments for laboratories.
Siemens Healthineers md Peter Harrison commented: “The success of Siemens Healthineers relies on the dedication and hard work of its employees. The certification is a credit to their continued commitment to creating a positive and motivational work environment. This is particularly true of our employees working throughout the COVID-19 pandemic who kept operations running smoothly and went above and beyond to support the healthcare industry.”
