The ‘Life in Sanofi’ program was launched in May 2014 to improve quality of life, motivation, performance and engagement of employees. The program was designed to support their work-life balance and personal development.

To support work-life balance:

• Remote working practice is applied two days a month.
• Flexible working hours are allowed. Employees may start a business day between 8:00 am and 9:30 am and end it between 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm.
• Unless there is an emergency, employees are not called after 6:30 pm on business days, on the weekends or during holidays.

In order to improve quality of life:

Children spend time in their parents’ offices and attend a festival, which features entertaining shows and activities in the conference hall. There is also an educational – informative event supported by Les Enfants de Sanofi. Within this scope, 3 events were organized including at the Head Office, Tuzla Warehouse, and Lüleburgaz Site.

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION 
The satisfaction of its employees is Sanofi's first priority. All the activities carried out are planned and put into practice with this principle in mind. In order to constantly increase satisfaction rates, improvement areas are constantly questioned and improvements made. In this context, we started to conduct an Employee Satisfaction Survey at Sanofi Turkey. The worldwide Sanofi People Survey 2017 was sent to all employees for the first time. All employees are asked the same questions. Participation rate of Sanofi Turkey employees to the global survey in 2018 was 92%. Survey results showed commitment rate of our employees at 75%.

Sanofi Turkey's 763 employees participated in the satisfaction survey conducted by the IT department in 2018. The survey process has been completed and Turkey has been the country with the largest participation rate in the region. Sanofi global achieved an average satisfaction level of 7.15 out of 10. In Turkey, satisfaction rate was scored 7.66, higher than the global average. The survey results pointed to mobile phone and business applications as an improvement area and we have started to develop improvement plans. Sanofi Turkey aims to maintain its satisfaction level above the global average by increasing and improving the quality of services it provides.
