Viatris Certified as a Great Place to Work® in Australia and New Zealand
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 22 July, 2025 – Viatris has been certified as a Great Place to Work® in both Australia and New Zealand – the inaugural certification for Australia, and the second year in a row that New Zealand has achieved this recognition.
In New Zealand, 94% of respondents agreed with the statement that “Viatris is a Great Place to Work” – an increase of six percent on 2024 outcomes – while across Australia’s diverse workforces in both commercial and operations functions, 76% agreed with the statement.
Country Manager of Viatris in Australia and Head of Commercial ANZ, Sylvain Vigneault, said he was delighted with the participation and results across the ANZ market.
“While the topline figures are a great result, even more pleasing were the reasons many people gave for considering Viatris a Great Place to Work.”
“In addition to positive feedback on policies such as additional leave, wellbeing programs and access to training and leadership development, the responses regarding pride in the company’s purpose and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully, our supportive culture, trust in leadership, a great social culture and work/life balance were significant across all our workplaces,” he said.
Sean Stewart, Country Manager New Zealand, said he was thrilled with the recognition of his team for the second year running: “We strive to provide a great culture where everyone feels both included and that they’re making meaningful contributions, so to see an improvement from last year’s fantastic results is testament to the entire New Zealand team.”
Mike McGuire, Head of Site Operations, was also pleased with the outcome: “Our Operations team works primarily in a manufacturing plant and distribution centres so it was great to see so many people participate in this online survey. I was particularly pleased that among our team, feeling welcomed and the site being seen as a physically safe environment ranked highly,” he said.
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
