Let's take a closer look at these four elements of The MDS Advantage and what they mean to you.
Exciting Future
There has never been a better time to be part of MDS, a company that's at the leading edge of the high-growth life sciences markets. Our three core businesses - MDS Analytical Technologies, MDS Nordion and MDS Pharma Services - are global industry leaders in life sciences tools, medical isotopes for molecular imaging, radiotherapeutics and pharmaceutical contract research. These are robust markets that are expanding rapidly.
Along with well-respected brands and strong product and service capabilities, MDS offers strong company leadership. The management team is focused on increasing value for all stakeholders and on doing business by the Core Values of trust, respect, integrity, and a commitment to excellence.
What makes it all work is attracting and retaining the right people - people who deliver excellent results, and share our purpose of making a distinctive contribution to health and well-being of people.
Development Environment
Our philosophy is simple - hire talented people, give them the support needed to succeed, offer them opportunities to grow, and count on them to work and prosper together. At MDS, we call this our Talent Management process, and we are committed to making it one of our signature qualities as a company.
We are focused on finding the right people, then providing a supportive environment to identify and nurture the potential of each one. We offer a wide range of stimulating roles, and a rich learning environment where everyone has a development plan. And for high-potential top performers, there are accelerated development opportunities.
At MDS, you will be challenged to do your very best as you thrive on meaningful and challenging work. Our goal is to create a performance-oriented culture, with a fully engaged workforce.
Performance Driven
Improved performance offers rewards to customers, employees and shareholders alike. Our strategy of achieving that revolves around Customer Excellence, Operational Excellence and People Excellence.
That means having the right products and services, and an agile, responsive organization to meet the needs of our customers. It means having a culture dedicated to continuous improvement - delivering those products and services faster, better and more cost-effectively than our competitors. And it means leveraging increased value through a focus on innovation in all that we do.
MDS people are driven to deliver excellent results, and to share their ideas on how to drive growth even further. The more you contribute, the greater your professional and personal reward and recognition, through competitive pay-for-performance compensation and advancement opportunities.
