We Are One FDB
Putting People First is one of our key strategic pillars.
It is the most important of our three strategic priorities that make up our Partners for Life strategy. By building a workplace where people are appreciated, find their work meaningful and truly connect with each other and themselves, we nurture a culture of trust and transparency.
Following our four Core Values and applying the behaviors identified in our People Fundamentals, we respect and hold ourselves and each other accountable for truly prioritizing people over processes and leadership over management. Our partners will feel our people focus through honest, transparent, and trustworthy collaboration every single day – leading to reliability, flexibility and delivery on the common goal of helping our partners deliver their medicines to patients in need.
Our People Fundamentals
“It’s important that we trust by default, and that’s not about being perfect. We have to communicate and interact and create expectations together. When we trust and believe in each other, we will release the full potential of our culture. It all starts with people. That is why the People Fundamentals are so important.” – Lars Petersen, President and Chief Executive Officer
At FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, we use our People Fundamentals to guide our behaviors and attitudes, giving us license to be ourselves – respected and valued members of the team for what we bring to the table.
Our People Fundamentals are based on the notion that we trust by default and when we do that, the dynamic of any relationship automatically shifts – allowing people to feel psychologically safe to speak up, to be their authentic and unique selves, and take ownership and accountability for their work. It is in this rich environment that we release the full potential of our people and our culture.
The People Fundamentals form the backbone of our culture, help us nurture and expand trust and establish a unified approach to how we show up, how we interact and how we lead across the organization.
Our People Fundamentals are underpinned by our Core Values.
Our Core Values
To us, our values are not just words on a page. We live them, and our values are our guiding force in describing our work, our relationships, our engagement, when defining our goals, or creating a strategy.
Trust
Mutual trust is the foundation of our relationships and is shown by open and free communications with anyone at any level of the organization. It’s the transparency and integrity at the center of all our actions. We value all team members, and we trust each other to perform our roles and responsibilities to the best of our abilities.
Delighting our Customers
We delight our customers through our unique partnership model and our commitment to science, innovation, quality and delivery of our promises. Delighting our customers is the winning aspiration that pushes our innovation and urges us to deliver right the first time, every time. It’s about helping our customers succeed and providing an exceptional customer experience.
Genki
Think about Genki as enthusiasm, energy, pep, vigorous positivity or passion. We empower our employees to define what Genki means to them in their careers and their lives. We embrace and encourage individuality, allowing employees to discover and follow what energizes, fulfills, and inspires them every day. As a team, we express Genki through achievements, celebrations, activities, and events globally and locally and encourage employees to share their Genki with others and recognize colleagues for their Genki.
Gemba
Gemba comes from a Japanese term meaning ‘the actual place’ and it is a way of working that we adopted from our parent company, Fujifilm. At FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, Gemba is at the heart of our belief in continuous improvement– ‘going and seeing’ the work that’s happening at the source and gaining firsthand insights. Our team members, from all levels of the organization, are encouraged to use Gemba to observe and learn, overcome challenges, and make improvements.
