The biopharmaceutical joins the program promoted by the consultant PeopleMatters to attract, retain and develop the best young talent.

AstraZeneca Spain has joined Recruiting Erasmus, the program led by consultancy specialized in people management PeopleMatters, which facilitates contact between companies and Spanish and foreign students who opt for an international academic and professional experience.

This decision displays the clear commitment of the biopharmaceutical to attract, retain and develop the best young talent to continue to challenge the limits of science and create treatments that change people's lives. Another of AstraZeneca's priorities, which in Spain is formed by a team of more than 700 people, is to be an excellent place to work. For this, the company has measures aimed at personal and professional development and growth, diversity, inclusion and work-life balance.

"We are very pleased to join an initiative like Recruiting Erasmus. Betting on young talent with international experience is, increasingly, a priority for the vast majority of companies. Not only do they provide new ideas to boost the growth of the organization, but that international experience allows them to know different ways of acting, an aspect of great value in crosfunctional work models like ours, "says Ana Mutis, AstraZeneca HR Director Spain.

AstraZeneca, committed to its employees

As a result of the different policies of training and development, equality and conciliation, AstraZeneca Spain has managed to occupy the third place in the ranking of the 50 Best Companies to Work for, prepared by Forbes magazine. In fact, it was the AstraZeneca professionals themselves who valued all the advantages offered by the company in both fixed and variable salary, which includes pension plans, health insurance, life and accident or internal recognition programs.

The company has also been included in the Bloomberg Index of Gender Equality 2019 - being the only Big Pharma to be part of this prestigious world ranking - and has been recognized as Top Employer Spain and Europe for two consecutive years. On the other hand, last February AstraZeneca obtained the EFR certification, which distinguishes the company as a Family Responsible Company and recognizes the company's measures that favor the well-being and balance between the work, family and personal life of its employees.
