How Amgen Operations Puts People First

Amgen is one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, deeply rooted in science and innovation and committed to their mission to serve patients.

The Operations team has always prided itself on delivering results, but emerging from the pandemic, leadership began to realize that people were also seeking a new kind of culture – a culture of excellence built on inclusion, engagement and compassion.

Since April 2022, Potential Project has partnered with Amgen to develop and cascade People-Centred Leadership (PCL) throughout Operations. Customized programming for different leadership levels has included Masterclasses with the Operations Leadership executive team, a 4-session PCL ‘Unlock’ program for Operations Senior Leaders, a 2-session ‘PCL Fundamentals for Leaders’ series for people leaders, and quarterly ‘Unlocking Connection’ virtual experiences to support all Operations staff. In addition, we have partnered to support senior leadership teams with integrating, embedding and sustaining PCL within day-to-day work experiences throughout the organization, and to ensure broad integration of PCL within Amgen’s flagship leadership development experiences.

Operations Leaders have reported positive impacts on their day-to-day work experience, including:  

+ 9% enhancement in measures of compassion towards colleagues
+ 7% increase in maintaining focus on key priorities
+ 7% improvement in measures of self-care
+ 8% greater connection with personal purpose for work
