Merck’s success is significantly influenced by the competence and dedication of its employees. The search for qualified specialists, particularly for fields of activity specific to the pharmaceutical sector, is subject to increasingly intensive competition with other companies. We are countering this development by continuously advancing our international personnel marketing measures.
Merck minimizes the consequences of personnel turnover among qualified specialists and executives by means of a Talent & Succession Management Process established throughout the Group. This helps to identify both key positions and talents, thus enabling appropriate vacancies to be quickly filled with suitable employees as a result of targeted selection. Short-term vacancies are managed by means of clearly defined, appropriate deputizing arrangements.
