“At BD, we strive every day to make a difference by helping more patients live a better life. Advancing the world of health is not just our mission, it’s who we are. This is why it is essential to create an excellent working environment for our people, which favors innovative approaches and enhances the uniqueness and value that everyone expresses in their profession”, says Giorgio Benigni, country general manager of BD Italy and Greece.
“We are very proud – comments Valentina Maurelli, human resources director of BD Italy and Greece – to have obtained the Top Employers Italia certification, at the end of a difficult and complex period like the one just passed. This is an important recognition that our company receives this year for the first time and that attests to Becton Dickinson as a reality attentive to the development and growth of its employees. The centrality of people, in fact, together with the culture of innovation and research, represent a strategic lever of the company’s success”.
“This – he warns – is a great achievement for us and expresses the commitment made year after year to make our HR practices increasingly competitive as well as representing an important recognition of the dedication we have towards our employees”.
Becton Dickinson’s HR policies aim to build a change around people, based on the diffusion, at all levels, of a culture of professional growth as an opportunity to manage the growing complexity of the biomedical market.
BD has always been concretely committed to growing talents, as well as to developing work-life balance programs and to offering everyone, men and women, the same opportunities to be able to hold managerial positions of the highest level. Through the Servant Leadership model, promoted thanks to dedicated training initiatives, leaders are required to put themselves at the service of people to foster an environment where they can best express their potential.
