Eight Signs of a Strong Company Culture
Employment
longevity
Although our company is still in its early stages of employment, we are proud of our staff longevity and considerably low employee turnover. We are well below industry-standard turnover rates and significantly below national averages.
Alignment of
actions and words
Meitheal has been recognized by personnel and customers alike for having the utmost transparency. We are also held accountable at all levels of the organization to follow through on promises. We encourage and hold open, honest conversations to ensure alignment with and toward objectives.
Diversity of
people and ideas
With our transparent Leadership Team and our supportive company culture, we promote inclusion, equal treatment and pay, a safe environment, and equal access to opportunities. Our applicants are considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, or disability. We involve diverse cross-functional teams in the interview process and follow standardized procedures for hiring, promotions, and performance management.
Shared
achievements
Within Meitheal we are aligned across all levels for both our annual goals and our long-term vision. Our success is determined by the organization’s focus and ability to accomplish our objectives. When Meitheal wins, the entire team shares in those achievements. We are proud of our internal recognition program in which employees and managers can recognize and nominate fellow teammates for prizes and company-wide recognition at ALL employee events.
Accessible
leadership
Guiding by example, our Leadership Team embodies the Meitheal 4 C’s: Committed, Curious, Collaborative, and Courageous. This sentiment is shared throughout the organization. Employees know the Leadership Team has an open-door policy and seeks proactive ways to connect with employees for their input and feedback.
Comfortable and
inspiring workplace
Located right off Interstate 90 on Chicago’s far Northwest Side, our offices are easily accessible from the city’s metropolitan areas. We offer an open-concept work environment with a variety of collaboration spaces and seating options including sit-to-stand desk options. We work from a flexible schedule and provide home-office equipment and a monthly home-office stipend to ensure our employees have the resources they need to excel in their careers.
Continuous
professional
development
At the start of each year, all employees develop professional and personal development goals. This allows each team member to enhance a specific competency or focus area that aligns with their goals. We provide various continuing-education opportunities and encourage employees to pursue them.
Market and
financial growth
Meitheal continues to invest in developing and expanding each therapeutic category within our generics portfolio, which is targeted to reach 71 products on the market by 2025. Our market share has surpassed 15% for over 50% of our launched products, and we now hold the leading or second-place market share on 10 molecules. Our ability to expand beyond generics will occur through the pipeline under our specialty biopharma business, including biologics, biosimilars, and a greater focus on fertility.
Diversity & Inclusion
Meitheal is passionate about inspiring and maintaining diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Companies that embrace people for their talents and character regardless of age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective are simply better places of business.
More important, creating an environment where everyone from any background can do their best work isn’t just the right thing to do: It is the smart thing to do.
Equal Opportunity
Meitheal provides equal opportunity employment to all employees and applicants for employment.
We further prohibit discrimination and harassment of any type at work without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
Our equal opportunity employment policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation and training.
Community Meitheal
What do today’s employees really look for in a company, and what are the best ways a business gives back? At Meitheal, those are questions we think about often – and strive to answer in the most meaningful ways.
We understand that today’s dedicated professionals in generics, specialty biopharma and women’s fertility desire qualities such as a good match of skills and position; opportunities to further learn and develop; an inspiring, progressive environment; and a culture of inclusion and diversity.
They also truly want to be a part of something greater – something that gives back and sustains. Meitheal shows its commitment to the community through various employee volunteer opportunities, fundraising, and partnerships with local non-profits.
Just a few of our specific community efforts include:
