Culture

Alere places great importance on developing a positive, healthy culture that allows employees to flourish. We believe that the right culture drives high performance and helps employees reach their full potential, which in turn produces expanded opportunities for our employees.

Alere promotes initiatives and behaviors that are conducive to the vitality, constructive frame of mind and optimal well-being of our employees and their families. Healthy lifestyles, hard work, enthusiasm and passion are hallmarks of the work/life balance of our culture. Our health and well-being are the essential elements of our life.

Values-Based Culture

It is well-known that values drive an organization’s culture. That is why Alere offers a values-based culture that leads to greater teamwork, higher employee and client satisfaction, increased productivity and greater retention of our best employees and our valued clients. Alere’s six core values are Trust, Excellence, Accountability, Teamwork, Innovation and Health.

• Trust is the glue that holds our organization together and binds us with our clients. 
• Excellence is part of everything we do as a company, whether it is delivering exceptional customer service, creating market-leading products or providing “best-of-class” health management services.
• Accountability gives Alere employees a sense of purpose, meaning and solidity as a team.
• Teamwork allows employees to come together and collaborate selflessly for the greater good of those we serve.
• Innovation is our secret to staying ahead of the curve and ensuring our place as a thought leader in the industry and a company that dramatically impacts the way healthcare is delivered.
• Health is the cornerstone of our values, allowing us to create a work environment that not only promotes health through employee health initiatives, but also provides a foundation for fun, enthusiasm and enjoyment.

Through the creation of a values-based culture, Alere strives to provide an environment that inspires greater teamwork, employee opportunities and higher employee satisfaction.
