Novartis Pharma Levant Cluster has been bestowed for the “Best Employers Middle East 2017” award, an annual award presented by AON Hewitt based on a survey that was run across 375 organizations in the Middle East.

He also attributed the company’s success and development to “investing first in human resources and always striving to create an attractive and motivating work environment for its employees.”
“This award is a continuous journey of hard work,” he said, adding that he is “committed to keep the organization engaged in its field and to motivate partners to achieve greater success in order to better serve patients in the Middle East region.
He concluded by expressing his confidence that “by being true to our corporate values in our day to day work, we will continue to lead the way in our industry and to attract develop and retain the best talent in the region.”
