“What we do in AbbVie to transform lives is what energizes me. We may have responsibilities in medical, regulatory, or engineering, or in sales or other commercial or corporate roles, but we are also parents, spouses or partners, siblings, or friends to someone with a medical need. We have so much in common with the people we serve. And that’s what inspires me - understanding why we do what we do and how we ultimately help to change lives for the better.”

“I’ve been fortunate to have had many bosses in AbbVie. All of them have trusted me with a lot of responsibilities and trying things outside my comfort zone and I am very grateful for that.”

"EED&I is part of AbbVie’s DNA. We have a chief equity officer to champion it, and avenues such as the Women Leaders in Action group to drive awareness and advocacy. In Singapore, I co-founded a Diversity Matters group with our HR director to raise greater awareness on EED&I topics for employees. Attendance is voluntary, but the turnout has been impressive.”

“We collaborate with key opinion leaders in the field of glaucoma care. We also connect with people living with glaucoma and the healthcare professionals so that they have access to resources and can better understand their eye health. We will always incorporate patient needs into our approach to allow us to help more people continue to see clearly.”

“Our employees are energised as team members involved in producing medicines to treat some of the most serious illnesses in the world. We want them to acquire higher-level technical skills as we increase capacity and manufacture more products, which are crucial to patients globally. Our products have put Singapore on the world map.”

“What I enjoy about AbbVie is the people and what we achieve together each day. I’m motivated by the many ways we can each contribute to creating big or small successes; and the continuous learning for us to reach our full potential. Throughout my career at AbbVie, I have had the flexibility to meet my personal family needs and at the same time, have been given opportunities to develop my career and take on additional responsibilities.”

“Since the acquisition (of Allergan), we’ve had talent exchange and cross-overs that have not only benefited the company, but enriched the individuals and teams involved across geographies and functions. Our combined culture embraces diversity and encourages inclusivity, one we’re glad to call ours!”

ABOUT OUR METHOLOGY​

To be eligible for the World’s Best Workplaces list, a company must apply and be named to a minimum of 5 national Best Workplaces lists within our current 58 countries, have 5,000 employees or more worldwide, and at least 40% of the company’s workforce (or 5,000 employees) must be based outside of the home country. Extra points are given based on the number of countries where a company surveys employees with the Great Place to Work Trust Index©, and the percentage of a company’s workforce represented by all Great Place to Work surveys globally. Candidates for the 2017 Worlds Best Workplaces list will have appeared on national workplaces lists published in September 2016 through August 2017.

ABOUT OUR METHODOLOGY​

The Best Workplaces in Asia List

Great Place to Work® identifies the top organizations that create great workplaces in the Asian and Middle Eastern regions with the publication of the annual Best Workplaces in Asia list. The list recognizes companies in three size categories:

  • Small & Medium (20 – 499 employees);
  • Large (500+ employees); and
  • Multinational.
 

To be considered for inclusion, companies must appear on one or more of our national lists in the region, which includes Greater China (covering China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau), India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and UAE. For the 2021 Asia List, companies ranked on the national list in the Philippines will also be included. Multinational organizations must meet the following requirements:

  1. Have at least 1,000 employees worldwide, with at least 40% (or 5,000) of those employees based outside the headquarter’s country and
  2. Appear on at least two national lists.
 

Multinationals also receive additional credit for their efforts to successfully create an excellent workplace culture in multiple countries in the region. The data used in the calculation of the regional list comes from national lists published in 2019 and early 2020.
