High Demand For Skilled Pharma Manpower
The need of skilled manpower in the pharmaceutical industry ranges widely from R&D, Quality Assurance (QA), Intellectual Property (IP), manufacturing to even sales and marketing. Today pharmaceutical industry is, in fact, struggling to retain talent in all these areas, even with lucrative compensation packages, talent development programs together with offering a bright career path. This happens mainly because the demand for talent far outweighs its supply. Pharmaceutical industry has the potential to attract a larger number of talents even during global financial meltdown, as the industry is virtually recession proof.
Adequately skilled, competent and motivated workforce will continue to be at the pinnacle of importance, both in safe and effective delivery of healthcare as well as in fuelling the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in India.
