Leadership

At Roche, our primary objective is to sustain long-term growth. To achieve this goal, we need not only the support of our employees, but also competent and forward-looking management teams. For Roche to succeed over the long term, we need to foster our most talented individuals and support their further development with a variety of targeted programmes and measures.

A key focus of our development programmes is to identify and develop current and future leaders. As part of our succession planning, we continually review and recommend for promotion employees who show exceptional leadership qualities and strong performance.

Throughout our UK business, employees who show talent for management and leadership are nurtured and supported. We look for those who display the behaviours, skills and attributes reflected in our leadership competencies. We want leaders who can articulate a vision and embed our values. We want them to think and act strategically and foster two-way communication. We want them to know how to leverage the expertise within our organisation and to think in terms of systems. We want them to act as agents for change and to be results oriented.

But leadership at Roche is not just about managers – we encourage and support everyone in every role to take personal leadership for their own performance and career development.
