Compensation and benefits are pivotal pillars for organizations in both attracting and retaining talent and fostering employee satisfaction. Fagron, recognizing the significance of these factors, not only generates job opportunities but also ensures that every employee receives sufficient wage. This supports the local economies and communities where Fagron operates.

We believe in equal opportunities, irrespective of gender, age, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, or other personal characteristics. With mutual respect, we collaborate in teams with diverse backgrounds and talents in a pleasant, safe, and inclusive work environment.

Human rights and labor rights
At Fagron, we believe in treating everyone with respect and fairness. We find it important to create a good work environment for all our employees. Fagron is committed to preventing the violation of human rights and labor rights at all our facilities worldwide.
Training and development
We firmly believe that encouraging employee development contributes positively to both our company’s performance and employability and job satisfaction of our people. By providing training and career opportunities, we not only enhance employee retention but also increase the overall quality of the work delivered. The investment in our employees enables them to improve their capabilities, subsequently improving their employability. Furthermore, personal development generally translates into increased job satisfaction, empowering growth and fulfillment within the organization.
Our annual target:
- 80% of employees have an annual career development and performance review meeting.
Working hours
At Fagron, we prioritize ensuring that employees do not structurally exceed their contracted working hours. Ensuring reasonable working hours not only enhances employee happiness but also mitigates the risk of occupational health and safety incidents. By affording our employees the time to balance work and life, we aim to provide the opportunity for a fulfilling social life outside of the workplace.
