Servier has launched a Group-wide campaign that tells the company’s story through the people who work there. Ten employee ambassadors, selected from 253 participants across 41 countries, share their experiences and what working at Servier means to them.
The company introduced the campaign in an article on LinkedIn:
“Meet the people behind Servier
What better way to discover a company than through the people who experience it every day? Across countries, professions and career paths, Servier employees are sharing what working here really means to them.
Our greatest strength is our people
How do you tell the story of a company present in more than 130 countries and driven by more than 20,000 employees worldwide? By letting employees tell their own stories. Every day, employees bring their expertise, perspectives and experiences to our shared mission.
Across countries, teams and professions, different career paths shape what it means to work at Servier. Rather than trying to tell that story through a single corporate voice, we wanted to give the floor to the people who know it best: our employees.
That ambition inspired a Group-wide campaign built around real faces, real career paths and real experiences at Servier.
At its heart are 10 employees from different countries and professional backgrounds. Through their stories, we invite people to discover Servier from the inside and meet some of the employees behind our shared commitment.
From 41 countries to 10 ambassadors: a collective journey
The campaign started with a simple invitation: employees from across Servier could put themselves forward to become one of the faces of the Group.
The response showed just how many employees were ready to share their experience.
253 profiles. 41 countries. 24 finalists. 3,402 votes. 10 ambassadors.
From the 253 employees who took part in the internal casting, 24 finalists were selected. But we did not want the final choice to be made behind closed doors. Employees across the Group were invited to have their say.
In total, 3,402 votes were cast before 10 ambassadors were ultimately selected.
This collective approach became an important part of the campaign itself. From putting themselves forward to voting for the finalists, our employees across Servier played an active role in choosing the people who would become the first faces of the campaign.
Different journeys, a shared experience
There is no single way to describe what it is like to work at Servier.
That is precisely what we wanted the campaign to reflect. Rather than asking our ambassadors to deliver the same message, we gave them the opportunity to talk about their own experiences, in their own words.
‘Over the long term, I feel that my relationship with the company is more akin to that of like-minded friends, with our values highly aligned and striving for common goals. All these aspects motivate me to keep moving forward, overcome difficulties, and achieve goals in my daily work.’ – Qiang, Quality Control Engineer in China
Their stories take us into their day-to-day work and introduce us to their professions, teams, and career journeys. They also offer a more personal perspective on what brought them to Servier and what continues to drive them professionally.
Each ambassador offers a different window into life at Servier. Together, their stories reveal the variety of people, expertise and experiences that make up our Group.
Going behind the scenes of life at Servier
We also wanted the campaign to go beyond portraits.
What does a working day actually look like? What does a particular profession involve? What can a career at Servier look like over time?
Through photography, videos, interviews, and employee stories, our ambassadors take us behind the scenes of their professional lives and provide concrete glimpses into their everyday experiences.
These stories reveal different working environments, career journeys and areas of expertise. We see how people collaborate, how careers evolve, and what different professions look like in practice, including some that may be less visible outside the Group.
‘For a long time, I wanted to work in the pharmaceutical field. Today, as a chemist, I live this ambition daily. In this profession, every failure is an advancement, every research has a purpose and knowing that our work contributes to saving lives gives me a real reason to get up in the morning.’ Élodie, Organic & Medical Chemistry Technician in France
Together, these voices offer a more tangible and human perspective on what it is like to work at Servier.
Stories from across Servier
The first 10 ambassadors offer a glimpse into life at Servier, but their stories are only the beginning.
Across our countries, teams and professions, Servier employees have their own experiences to share. Over time, new voices will add fresh perspectives, revealing even more facets of what it means to work at Servier around the world.
The result is a portrait of Servier that can continue to grow through the people who shape our Group every day.
‘You’ll find yourself pushing harder – not because someone asks you to, but because you’ll want to. Every effort will have meaning.’ Paula, Medical Representative in Colombia
Putting real experiences first
When people consider joining a company, a job description only tells part of the story.
They also want to understand the people they could work with, the environment they could join, and the opportunities they could explore.
We believe our employees are in the best position to offer that perspective. Their stories can help future colleagues look beyond job titles and discover the people, careers and everyday experiences behind Servier.
And there are many more stories still to be told.
Across Servier, thousands of individual careers, professions and experiences contribute to who we are. As new voices emerge, they can continue to reveal different facets of life within the Group.
Because ultimately, one of the most authentic ways to discover Servier is through the people who experience it every day.
Meet the ambassadors
The 10 ambassadors are the first people to share their stories as part of this campaign. Coming from different countries, professions and career paths, they each offer their own perspective on working at Servier.
Discover what their day-to-day work looks like, the paths that brought them here, the people and projects they work with, and what continues to shape their careers.
