What we offer
At AstraZeneca Sweden, when we see the chance to adapt and develop, we seize it – because for us, every opportunity, no matter how small, can be the beginning of something incredible. Delivering medicine that improves people's lives is about having an entrepreneurial spirit – finding the right moment and understanding its potential.
Although we are a global organisation, we are all about being there for our individual colleagues, helping them to be agile and bring out their inner entrepreneur. To instill this sense of value, we have a whole range of great perks in Sweden. Along with the standard benefits we offer as a global company – such as holiday, work-life balance, training and flexible working – we offer the following extras.
Health
We believe that a healthy work environment leads to healthier levels of productivity. So, all our sites offer free employee access to exercise and healthcare facilities, in addition to activities and programs to promote health, wellbeing, motivation, and job satisfaction. In Sweden, we have a dedicated health and wellness centre, gym and ‘nap room’, all dedicated to encouraging better health and wellbeing in and out of work.
It’s the Scandinavian way to look after your people. That’s why we go above and beyond when it comes to office perks. From doggy day-care and bike maintenance to plenty of dining options and community gardens, our Sweden site amenities make coming to work on a Monday morning a pleasure.
People development
We strongly believe in creating careers. That means inspiring our colleagues to take their work a step further, to realise their potential and progress internally – with the average employee being promoted within 2 to 3 years. In support of this, we hold internal career days to encourage and promote people who deserve recognition.
Networks
As a global business, we have a duty to our colleagues around the world. In Sweden, we not only offer mentoring to ensure people are supported on an everyday basis. We also have Employee Resource Groups (ERG´s) with four of the global chapters present in Sweden; AZ Inspire, ThiNK, AZ Pride and Safe Space.
