Which pharma has gifted a week off?

The Australian team at Vertex has been gifted this week off to reset and recharge, as part of the company's focus on employee wellbeing.

It's one of two paid week-long breaks over the calendar year and because the shutdown is global, the team is assured there will be no work interruptions during their time off and on return to the office next Monday, there won't be an overflowing inbox.

"At Vertex, our pursuit of scientific innovation is driven by a clear purpose: to transform the lives of people with serious diseases. That ambition is made possible by our people, which is why supporting their wellbeing is central to how we work," Vertex ANZ, Senior Country Manager Elisha Whitfield said.
