Merck Named a Global Top Employer
“Our leadership in science and technology is the direct result of having a highly qualified team of motivated people committed to coming up with new ideas to make the world better,” said Belén Garijo, CEO Healthcare and member of the Executive Board responsible for HR at Merck. “Such external recognition will enhance even further our ability to bring on board the talent that allows us to constantly challenge the status quo.”
