Highlight

Genzyme's Collaboration with Professional Associations

Rated amongst Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For", Genzyme promotes employee career development through a combination of internal and external programs. Our collaborations with external professional associations, like the Sino-American Pharmaceutical Professionals Association (SAPA-NE), The Partnership, Inc. and the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA) play a valuable role in providing leadership development forums that offered informal mentoring/coaching, industry related networking opportunities and skill enhancement. In addition, many of our employees participate in external associations as board or committee members, subject matter expert panelists, presenters, community volunteers and more.
