Autonomy and entrepreneurship: We believe in providing autonomy to our employees and let them discover their potential while working for Ranbaxy. Individuals are given responsibility quite early in their careers and their actions impact the business. This has helped in fostering a culture of entrepreneurship within the organisation that we are extremely proud of.

Creativity is promoted in every part of the organisation. Genuine mistakes are considered as part of learning and calculated risk taking is encouraged.

This diversity provides us the strength to reach out to the world and touch the lives of millions of people in different parts of the globe. We value the diversity that exists within our employees and leverage this to bring about synergy within the organisation. Ranbaxy workforce of over 11,000 people is represented by 51 nationalities with approximately 26% constituting foreign nationals.

Employee Development

Employees represent what a company stands for. The value an organisation produces is unequivocally linked to collective efforts of its people. We at Ranbaxy realize that the growth of the company can be sustained through the continuous development of people who contribute to the business success. Hence we focus our attention to harness the innate potential each individual brings to the organisation.

Identifying Potential

While the initial years in the career of a Ranbaxy manager is used in developing the professional skills, the focus changes as a person moves to the middle management level. Here leadership potential becomes critical. We have a robust process of identifying potential in individuals. Each of our middle level managers goes through a process that clearly identifies their strengths, development areas and aspirations for the future. This is supported by a structured process of development, which includes movement within the organisation.

Building Leaders Across the Organisation

We believe that every individual can be a leader and leadership is not a domain of the people at the top. Accordingly the Ranbaxy Leadership Model focuses on strengthening the leadership qualities across the organisation and quite early in the individual's career. The Model prepares individuals first to deal with 'the self' and then with 'others'. As the manager matures, the model facilitates the individual to become a business leader by understanding and appreciating the multiple facets of business. Finally managers of Ranbaxy are prepared to lead and drive change - an ultimate test of a person's leadership skills

In addition, as an employee of Ranbaxy, you can expect to be trained in the latest developments in your respective field of functional excellence. Our Strategic Learning Partners support the development initiatives at Ranbaxy and are themselves leading names / institutions in the world of people development

The Management Trainee Programme

The Management Trainee Programme is a perfect example of our commitment towards developing and nurturing young talent. Ranbaxy recruits the best minds from Business Schools and prepares them for the challenges of business.

Each of the Management Trainee, irrespective of their discipline, gets an opportunity to work and get exposed in Sales, R&D and Manufacturing. They also work on live business projects in their own area of specialization. Projects are also undertaken in cross-functional area to build a holistic understanding of business. To prepare the trainees for global challenges each person has to undertake an extensive ten-week assignment away from their home country. This helps in developing a global mindset in the trainees.

A committee specially constituted for their development evaluates the work of the management trainees. The committee members coach and mentor them during the training period and prepare them for the challenges of a regular job.
