Novo Nordisk Ranked Among the Top 25 Best Multinational Workplaces

Bagsværd, Denmark, November 14, 2012 /3BL Media/ - Novo Nordisk has for the second year in a row just been ranked among the top 25 best multinational workplaces, according to the Great Place to Work® Institute. Just as last year, Novo Nordisk is ranked 22nd.

The 25 companies were selected from a total of 350 multinational companies from 45 countries that participated in the selection process for the best multinational workplaces.
