Challenges
The life science industry is rapidly evolving, with new sales models focusing more on specialists and open business models for R&D organisations. Given the overall complexity of a life sciences company, the talent strategy should be adapted to the business challenges. Adequate skills and expertise are required to:
- Manage changing skill requirements
- Attract critical workforce segments, especially scarce technical, engineering and scientific profiles to drive future R&D growth and innovation
- Retain critical workforce segments in an environment of organisational changes, post-merger integrations and labor cost reductions
- Adapt work solutions to employees’ expectations
