Women uplifting women: A day full of inspiration and empowerment
Promoting gender equality and providing meaningful support for women are not just important to us, they are part of our corporate culture. A significant proportion of our management positions are currently held by women, and we are doing everything we can to drive this development forward.
We were therefore all the more honored to support and provide the ideal environment for the "Industry Meets Women in Pharma" event on May 22 as a sponsor and host. The event aimed to facilitate connections between female managers and emerging talent with renowned industry experts – to share knowledge, experiences, and inspiration.
Around 50 dedicated women from the pharmaceutical and service industries from the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) accepted the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering’s (ISPE) invitation to visit our site. In addition to the exclusive tours of our facilities, which provided captivating insight into our modern production processes, the highlights of the day included an interactive workshop and inspiring presentations on the topic of empowerment.
To us, empowering women means more than just bolstering self-confidence and supporting aspirations for leadership. It also means removing the structural obstacles that stand in the way of securing management positions. The event provided an opportunity to discuss this openly, with commitment, and with a view to the future.
Empower yourself, empower others
After lunch, during which the participants engaged in intensive networking, two of our managers shared their personal perspectives on empowerment. Olivia Erlach, Manager, Organizational Development, and Julia Haberbosch, Team Leader, Organizational Development, gave a valuable glimpse into their professional journeys and offered practical tips for becoming a manager.
The interactive workshop "Empowered to Succeed" was held in the afternoon. Motivating hands-on presentations were given on key tools and strategies that can empower and support women in the pharmaceutical industry on their path to success.
"Industry Meets Women in Pharma" was an inspiring day filled with original insights and networking opportunities, and a transformative experience that left a lasting impact on the next generation of women in management.
