Ipsen Wrexham, a pharmaceutical company, has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ in the category of large organisations for 2023, by Great Place to Work®, a global authority on workplace culture. This prestigious award is based on anonymous employee feedback, which revealed that 72% of Ipsen Wrexham’s employees considered it a great place to work.
Ipsen Wrexham, known as Ipsen’s ‘neuroscience centre of excellence’ in the UK, manufactures products that are exported to patients in over 90 countries. The company scored highly for diversity, ethnicity, inclusion, promotion of physical and mental health, camaraderie, employee pride, and comfort levels with job security. Earlier in the year, it was accredited as one of the Best Workplaces™ UK for Wellbeing, which acknowledged the company’s consistent efforts to place employee wellbeing at the heart of its workplace culture.
Jeannette Brend, Site Head at Ipsen in Wrexham, expressed pride in the company’s achievement, stating, “It’s fantastic to see that our employees value everything that goes into making Ipsen Wrexham a great place to work. I would like to thank every single one of them for all their contributions which, every day, advances our global mission to improve people’s lives and health outcomes – particularly in areas of high unmet need. It is their hard work that allows us to continually grow, creating new opportunities across the site.”
The award is based heavily on the results of Great Place to Work® employee surveys, which revealed that nine out of ten employees at Ipsen Wrexham say there is fair treatment for age, race, sexual orientation, gender, and position. Additionally, around 8 out of 10 employees said they can ‘be themselves’ at work, are proud to tell others they work at Ipsen, feel comfortable with job security, promote mental and physical health among employees, and feel that people care about each other at work.
Employee Engagement Lead Yvonne Linnane said, “This recognition is a real landmark achievement for us and a morale-booster for our whole team as we continue to ensure all our employees feel valued and supported every day. While the benefits that employees receive at Ipsen Wrexham are to be admired and appreciated, we are equally committed to creating the best environment we can for individuals to thrive and for our business to operate efficiently, so this accolade demonstrates that our efforts are working.”
