Puerto Rico People Competitive Advantage

We strongly believe that Puerto Rico's competitive advantage is based on our people's contribution to accomplish sustained economic development and continuous growth while maintaining a high level of ethical conduct at all levels of our society.

In order to guarantee this competitive advantage we believe in achieving the highest possible educational level and in continuously developing trained and technical skills in our workforce.

Puerto Rico's pharmaceutical industry's competitive advantage is the result of over three decades of experience in the island. Our bilingual, multicultural and diverse workforce is one of our industry's top assets. Productivity levels, employee commitment, agility and adaptability are some of the characteristics of our island's pharmaceutical industry's workforce that have certainly contributed to our industry's success in the past decades and continue to provide a competitive advantage for our island.

The competitiveness of our workforce is based on the pharmaceutical industry's commitment to continuous educational development and to the reward and recognition of employees. Promoting work/life balance and total employee wellness is of outermost importance to our industry.

The ability to develop a teamwork-oriented culture has proven to be a main ingredient of our industry's success. Also, the management professionals of our pharmaceutical industry are well known for being trained in global markets and updated in the latest technology to enhance the knowledge, skills and personal growth of our people.

Puerto Rico's HR capabilities are highlighted by our accomplishments in developing "transferable" talent: a workforce that has the ability to work successfully and excel in different organizational cultures and locations.

Our competitive advantage is also the result of establishing a strategy to attract, develop and retain top talent through alliances with educational organizations and professional associations. PIA's relationship with prestigious educational institutions and professional associations in Puerto Rico and abroad is certainly one of the strategies to continue attracting and developing the best available workforce. This effort is at the center of our HR Committee's work in order to continue to provide the local pharmaceutical industry with the best talent available to meet our member companies' organizational objectives.

Finally, our commitment towards improving the quality of life of Puerto Rican communities is our ultimate goal. We believe in making a strong and meaningful contribution to improving the lives and health of the people that are part of our workforce, as well as of all the communities that we serve in Puerto Rico and globally. The HR Committee will strategically design, create and develop the initiatives needed to support PIA's Executive Committee in making the contribution to make a difference in people's lives.
