Engagement: good for our employees, good for our business

We live our values

Three values sustain our culture and further our quest to help people achieve good health and longevity: integrity, courage and passion. We aspire to embody these values in everything we do.

Guided by values

Working for Roche means more than just having a job. To us, it means a daily obligation to maintain our personal integrity, think boldly and be passionately committed to improving medicine.

Our three Roche values are central to how we want to behave as individuals, and collectively as an organisation. We don’t just pay them lip service: they are binding for everyone who works for Roche in more than 100 countries throughout the world.

• Integrity: We are consistently open, honest, ethical and genuine.
• Courage: We are entrepreneurial and thus take risks, reach beyond boundaries and experiment.
• Passion: We use our drive and commitment to energise, engage and inspire others.

It’s what’s inside that counts

We believe that a good business is an ethical business. By cultivating a culture of openness, we encourage everyone to grow their strengths, recognise and address their weaknesses, and continually strive to accomplish ambitious goals we’ve set for ourselves.

Measuring employee engagement

We measure employee engagement primarily through our Global Employee Opinion Survey (GEOS). We have set the target to reach the top quartile threshold of best employers (2017: 73%) with our overall engagement score by the end of 2019. Our next GEOS survey will be conducted in spring 2019.
