Sanovel Culture

We consider respect for people and the environment among our fundamental responsibilities. In line with our ethical values, we continuously invest in innovative and sustainable production technologies that support responsible manufacturing and contribute to a better future.

Balance in Life, Value in Every Moment

At Sanovel, our People & Culture approach is grounded in a strong belief in the value and potential of every individual. We recognize that each employee brings unique perspectives, experiences and capabilities that contribute to our collective success. Accordingly, our people practices are guided by the principles of equity, inclusion, continuous development and sustainability.

We are committed to continuously enhancing the employee experience by fostering a balanced, supportive and rewarding workplace. Our People & Culture strategy is built around four key pillars: employee engagement and experience, continuous learning and development, a high-performance culture, and a comprehensive total rewards approach. Together, these pillars provide a strong foundation for both individual growth and sustainable organizational success.

At Sanovel, we encourage our employees to take ownership of their personal and professional development. We promote an environment where feedback is valued, learning is continuous and development is embedded in everyday work. We believe that sustainable success is built through continuous growth, learning and improvement.

The Sanovel culture is founded on the values of continuous development, collaboration, agility and innovation. We foster an inclusive workplace where employees are empowered to realize their full potential, freely express their ideas and make meaningful contributions.

One of the cornerstones of our culture is the Sanovel Behaviour Model, which serves as a common framework for everyone across our organization.

The model defines how we work together and create value through four key dimensions: Learning Agility, Leading Change, Performance Leadership, Common Strategic Competencies. The core competencies expected of every Sanovel employee include self-awareness, curiosity, collaboration, openness to change and results orientation.

The Sanovel Behaviour Model focuses not only on what we achieve, but also on how we achieve it. By fostering constructive feedback, collaboration and continuous development, we strengthen individual capabilities while enhancing overall organizational performance.

Together, these practices create a strong and sustainable People & Culture ecosystem that supports the continuous development of our people and contributes to the long-term success of Sanovel.

Discover Onboarding Program

Discover is Sanovel's comprehensive onboarding programme, designed to help new employees settle into their roles smoothly while becoming familiar with our culture, ways of working and organization through the support of a dedicated Discovery Buddy.

Every new employee at Sanovel embarks on a journey of discovery. This journey begins during the candidate experience and continues until new colleagues have fully integrated into their teams, embraced our culture and developed a genuine sense of belonging. The Sanovel Discover Onboarding Programme has been designed as an end-to-end onboarding experience, covering every stage of the employee journey and transforming a positive candidate experience into an engaging employee experience. Through the programme, we help new colleagues quickly understand our corporate culture, adapt to our business processes and feel connected to our organization.

Using the digital guide available through Sanovel Campus, employees can explore our culture and organizational mindset while adapting quickly to company practices. They can also experience our FDA-approved R&D Centre and Manufacturing Campus through an immersive 360-degree virtual tour, as well as gain insight into a typical day in the life of our field teams.

Enriched with interactive and experience-based content, the Discover Programme helps employees begin their journey at Sanovel with confidence.

Growth Conversations

Growth Conversations are structured one-to-one conversations in which Sanovel employees take ownership of their personal development journey together with their managers. The primary objective of these conversations is to help employees identify their strengths and development areas while creating individual, goal-oriented development plans through meaningful feedback and feedforward.

 

Each year, as part of the "Growth Conversations – 4N1Me" programme, employees meet individually with their managers in dedicated sessions focused entirely on their professional development. These conversations encourage managers to adopt a coaching mindset, enabling them to better understand each employee's potential and define concrete development actions.

Through this approach, employees increase their self-awareness, unlock their potential and take a structured approach to their career development. Development Dialogues also strengthen our culture of continuous feedback while enhancing both the employee experience and organizational development.

Insights gained throughout the process play an important role in shaping learning programmes, individual development journeys and the content of Sanovel Academy.
