Bayer Inc. is excited to be recognized for the 10th time in a row as a Top 100 Employer in Canada. Bayer’s management team prides itself as having a stellar employee retention rate of some 96 per cent and employee satisfaction levels of 92 per cent and above.
“A decade on the list shows we are not a flavor of the month,” explains Lynda Newcomb of Bayer, Vice President, Human Resources. “It does show we are constantly innovating and have a genuine commitment of helping people develop to their potential.”
The secret to Bayer’s employment success is how each employee embraces the company’s values. It starts from a strong desire to make a positive difference in people’s lives first focusing on our customers.
“People join Bayer because they want to make a difference in the lives of others,” Newcomb says. “It could be by developing and providing products for people’s well-being or helping to find ways of feeding the world’s growing population.”
Bayer Inc. in Canada has over 1,500 employees across the country focused on three business divisions: Pharmaceutical (prescription drugs), Consumer Health (selfcare medications) and Crop Science (agriculture crop solutions). The company has over 11 offices/facilities across the country with the head office located in Mississauga, Ontario. In 2013, the company celebrated its 150th anniversary and stands by its principals of sustainable development, and its social and ethical responsibilities as a corporate citizen.
“Given the recent announcement, I’m proud to say that we’re fulfilling our motto ‘Science For A Better Life,’” concluded Newcomb.
