Work & life at AOP Health
Individuality is not only a core aspect of our entrepreneurial activities - we give prime importance to individual development in the careers of our staff members. Depending on the performance and competence, we offer a variety of training and development options.
At AOP Health we have an appreciative style of communication on an equal footing. This concerns dialogue with the team and the executives as well as cooperation with our partners. The flat hierarchy creates a pleasant work environment, where committed staff members are able to pursue their creative and individual style of work.

"The team members attend to patients with warmth and empathy. I think that’s simply marvelous."
Could you describe a typical day at work?
I have no such thing as a typical day at work. Each new day brings a great deal of new aspects and everything is changing rapidly. I can prove my flexibility in these circumstances. We try to implement structures with the aid of digital tools.
What, in your opinion, is the factor that motivates the staff members at AOP Health?
Our greatest motivation is based on the corporate purpose of AOP Health, which is to help people with rare diseases and in critical care. The team members attend to patients with warmth and empathy, which I deeply appreciate. Improving the lives of these patients is the principal motivating factor for all staff members.

"My daily work reflects the diversity of AOP Health."
What do you appreciate most about your work?
I like the fact that my work entails attending various meetings or conferences, where I have the opportunity to meet with stakeholders and colleagues to exchange consistent information. In my various tasks, I have adequate possibility to introduce my own ideas, and can take responsibility in the decision-making process.
What do you appreciate in your daily interactions with people?
We have a friendly work environment where respectful interaction between individuals is paramount. We also like to arrange after-work activities among colleagues.
"We approach many things “spontaneously” in the positive sense of the term – that’s possible only because of the dynamic environment at AOP Health."
What do you appreciate most in your daily interactions?
Generally we have interdisciplinary exchange between all departments, including the executive level. Something very unusual in a pharmaceutical enterprise is that we work in flat hierarchies – the doors always remain open for one and all.


"Our studies are more complex than for example diabetes or vaccine studies, since we ought to seek patients with rare diseases. Thus, the collaboration with doctors and specialized hospitals is of utmost importance."
