Lundbeck Named a 2019 Chicago Tribune Top Workplace

Biopharmaceutical company committed to restoring brain health recognized for unique culture 

Deerfield, Ill., November 8, 2019 – Lundbeck US, an affiliate of the global pharmaceutical company H. Lundbeck A/S, announced today it has been named a 2019 Top Workplace by the Chicago Tribune. This marks the second straight year that Lundbeck received the honor. Lundbeck was one of just 65 area employers recognized in the small-company category. The Top Workplace list is based solely on employee feedback and measures several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment and employees’ connection to the company.

“At Lundbeck, we have worked hard to build a patient-centric biopharmaceutical company,” says Peter Anastasiou, executive vice president and head of Lundbeck North America. “The fact that our own employees voted Lundbeck a Top Workplace is testament to the connectedness we all feel to our culture and purpose. I am so proud to receive this recognition, and I am grateful to our employees for sustaining our unique and meaningful culture.”

As the only global biopharmaceutical company solely focused the brain, Lundbeck is deeply committed to the communities we serve, and patient-centricity is at the heart of the corporate culture. Employees participate in hundreds of patient events each year, gaining deeper understanding of the challenges faced by people impacted by migraine, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression and other mental health disorders. Earlier this year, Lundbeck US was ranked #1 in corporate reputation by patient advocacy groups for the fourth straight year. This recognition is a point of pride for employees and a testament to the patient-first culture at Lundbeck.

Caring for people extends to our internal team as well and supporting the health and well-being of employees and their families is a high priority for the company. Lundbeck offers comprehensive health and welfare benefits, work-life programs, flexible work schedules, and a recognition program that includes peer-to-peer awards as well as quarterly and annual recognition. In addition, the company’s commitment to mental health starts within, and Lundbeck offers a variety of workplace programs geared toward reducing the stigma of mental illness and supporting employees’ mental health. For example, Lundbeck offers employees full access to the resources of Right Direction, an initiative it has supported nationwide that helps employers take on depression in the workplace.
