Trading Workplaces is an innovative Pfizer scheme, whereby our customers and nominated Pfizer staff take part in a time-limited, two-way secondment between their two organisations.
The scheme fosters a relationship of mutual benefit – enabling appropriate Pfizer customers to work on defined Pfizer projects and, in return, appropriate Pfizer team members to work on defined customer projects. Both customer and Pfizer secondees will have the opportunity to experience a different culture and working processes in a leading organisation.
This secondment scheme provides a unique opportunity for Pfizer customers to further develop commercial business skills and exercise fresh thinking in a new environment. In turn, Pfizer will be able to gain a deeper level of insight into the needs, decision-making processes and working practices of colleagues within our customer organisations. As the scheme is project-based, there will be clear, achievable objectives, and measurable outcomes and benefits for both parties and organisations.
