Training and development
The competencies and intellectual contribution of our staff are a prerequisite for a sound business strategy. To this end, the Company places great emphasis on the scientific and professional training and continuing education of its employees. In addition, all employees are required to participate in safety, quality assurance, environmental protection and pharmacovigilance training courses.

New employees are welcomed in the framework of an onboarding programme, with each new entrant being supported by a so-called Buddy in the first few weeks. In the first month after entry, each new colleague attends an onboarding course to help them engage in Richter’s business and corporate culture thus facilitating integration.

In order to expand our colleagues' expertise, Richter supports the completion of both in-house training and academic certificates. We also provide many of our colleagues with the opportunity for development by supporting them to participate in domestic and foreign professional conferences and scientific congresses.

We offer a variety of training opportunities to our managers. Managers can choose the most appropriate form of training tailored to their individual development needs. In 2019, the Richter Leadership Model and a complex leadership development system were developed for both new and experienced leaders, according to the different stages of their leadership career.

This award is again a great recognition for us, as this is the third time that talented young people have voted Richter the most attractive pharmaceutical employer. We hope that we will have the opportunity to work with many of them to shape the future of our 120-year-old company together as we aim to improve the quality of life for millions of people with our innovative solutions. Katalin Erdei, Richter’s Human Resources Director

Diversity and equal opportunities
Regardless of gender and age, we provide opportunities for advancement, professional development and leadership positions. Equally accessible training/development conditions are available to all levels of management. It is an advantage for every organisation if colleagues approach a particular task or project from different perspectives. Different views can give the Company a new perspective and opportunity, which canincrease its productivity and efficiency. In some areas, Richter deliberately integrates foreign labourforce in order to import international knowledge, in line with the professional needs of the given position.  We support the reintegration of women after GYES (Child Care Benefit), many of whom are employed on a part-time basis. At the same time, we place emphasis on the employment of students and retirees.
