Pronova BioPharma’s high growth rate and strong profitability are generated by committed employees with unique know-how working 24 hours a day, all year round.

Work in Pronova BioPharma requires dynamic people who are able and willing to break new ground and find creative solutions. The significant demand for Omacor/ Lovaza is met by efficient and high quality production processes driven by highly skilled and professional employees. The group’s investment in research and development reflects the commitment to developing a strong pipeline of new products and opportunities for the business going forward.

Around the clock

Production at the Sandefjord plant runs continuously all day every day. It operates at maximum capacity and efficiency, which means that the production facility has minimum down time. The new plant currently under construction at Kalundborg, Denmark, will mirror the production processes at the Sandefjord plant. Owing to the complexity of the operational skills required at the new plant, extensive and intense training programmes for transfer of expertise to the new workforce are already underway. Prospective Danish shift leaders started training at the Sandefjord plant at the beginning of January 2008, and a gradual ramp-up of new hires and training will take place throughout 2008.

Employee survey

An employee survey is conducted every year in Pronova BioPharma. The results provide employee feedback on the group’s working culture, leadership and general job satisfaction, and are used to ensure that the group meets high standards in these areas. Continuous efforts are made to improve all results.

Incentives and bonus

All employees participate in a bonus programme. The people in Pronova BioPharma strongly believe that incentives linked to bonus payments improve overall financial results and work quality. The bonus system rewards individuals, teams and the group’s performance, and all employees are involved in the process of defining and evaluating performance objectives.
