DEVELOPING PEOPLE

Our Philosophy - ReimagineMe “where my fulfillment meets our purpose”
ReImagine me is a philosophy that is about enabling personalized professional journeys that value expertise, experience, mindsets and behaviors that deliver true impact with no boundaries.

Each of our professional journeys is unique and is shaped by our personal goals, values and how each of us defines fulfillment. We follow our own path to learn and grow because what brings fulfillment is different for every person and it changes over time.

To help our employees better understand and embed the ReimagineMe concept, we also arranged Career Month in 2020 when we launched this new philosophy, and below are the speeches/workshops we offered in Career Month.

Our Learning & Development Programs
*In 2020, we successfully supported the career development of 10+ employees through implementing people development solutions.

Our Approaches to Enable Employees’ Professional Journeys

  Roche Connect is a world-wide plan that Roche employees can choose to join. It gives employees an opportunity to invest in the future and share financially in the success of Roche by purchasing Roche Genussscheine (non-voting equity securities) at an attractive discount.

Our Recognition Programs
Everyone at Roche, no matter what they do or where they are, should be recognized for a job well done.

The Applause program in Roche allows our people to send a congratulatory eCard with personalized picture or video messages quickly and easily to colleagues, whether they are in the same team, other teams, other organizations or locations. If appropriate, employees can also nominate them for a financial Point Award, which can be used to buy vouchers or gifts from an extensive catalog of items tailored for each country. This all happens without a long and extensive approval process, which demonstrates how we enable everyone to make decisions in their area of responsibility.
