Quotes from the team

“This is the first year for AZ Tunisia to participate in the Best Places To Work Certification Program; we feel very special being in the top of the winners list. We believe that people are the reason behind all the successes that we witnessed during the past year. Without the effort, dedication and outstanding commitment of everyone towards the organization, we wouldn’t have made it that far. Looking forward to more awards and successes.” Leila Mrad, Country Director Tunisia

Quotes from the team

“This year, we are especially proud of the milestones achieved across the region. AstraZeneca has become the first company in Iraq to be awarded Best Place to Work for Women, and the first in both Algeria and Morocco to be recognized as Best Place to Work for Gender Equality. These recognitions reflect our deep commitment to fostering a workplace where fairness is embedded, diverse perspectives are celebrated, and gender equity is not just encouraged but championed. Our HR vision has always been clear: create an environment where people feel safe to speak up, confident to grow, and motivated to contribute to something bigger than themselves. These awards affirm that we are on the right path, but they also inspire us to keep raising the bar and to continue listening, learning, and evolving alongside our teams. I am incredibly proud of our employees—whose passion, resilience, and collaboration bring our values to life every single day. Together, we will continue shaping a workplace that leads the organization and sets new standards for what a truly inclusive and high-performing culture can be.”

“At AstraZeneca nemag, we truly believe that our people are the heart and soul of our success. People’s dedication, passion, and talent is what continuously empowers our cluster to shine brilliantly in every possible way. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can reach their full potential, perform at their absolute best, and make a valued contribution to the enterprise. Today I feel extremely proud to sustain BPTW award for Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq for the 7th year consecutively and for Algeria, Morocco & Tunisia for the 3rd year in a row. As last year, in order to build on our previous successes, gladly we were also able to grant the BPTW for Women certification as well in AZ Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Algeria. Every year we stretch our capabilities further and explore what can be tested and bettered to break more records; I am extremely excited to announce that in addition to the previously mentioned awards we were recognized as BPTW for Millennials in Algeria, Morocco and Iraq for the first time in AZ NEMAG. This award is special because it sets out AZ as an Employer of Choice and a Great Place to Work which definitely enhanced the company image and signifies its position within the pharma market.” Rami Scandar, Near East & Maghreb Country President
