Millipore employees in Germany. Merck Serono in China had 1,230 employees, 333 more than
in 2009, as the division opened a new research center there and also expanded its sales and
marketing activities.
A total of 512 young people were enrolled in vocational training programs in 19 different
occupations at the Darmstadt site, the largest of the Merck Group.
1 Europe 21,679 53%
2 North America 4,909 12%
3 Latin America 4,546 11%
4 Asia, Africa, Australasia 9,428 23%
The acquisition of Millipore gives Merck the possibility to strengthen its position in the attractive
life science market and at the same time to expand its geographic reach. Therefore, the exper-
tise and skill of the Millipore employees as well as their commitment are key to the success of
this business. Right from the start of the integration process, we made sure when appointing
people to positions that the management teams of the new Merck Millipore division could
optimally draw on the expertise of both companies. Further key features of the integration
process included regular, open communication, change management activities that take specific
corporate cultures into account, and concepts designed to maintain employee loyalty.
As an integrated global company, Merck has implemented uniform human resources programs
worldwide. These include, for example, the Performance Management Process and the Global
Rewards Policy, which aim to develop a performance culture based on the joint strategic direc-
tion of the company and a performance-related, market-oriented compensation structure. The
Talent & Succession Management Process helps us to fill positions with the right people, as
well as attract and retain talented employees. In autumn 2010, we adopted a global employer
branding concept, the motto of which is “Make great things happen.” The aim here is to present
to potential applicants those features that make Merck unique. These include an inspiring and
motivating work environment in which innovations thrive, the possibility to contribute ideas
to benefit customers and the company, and personal development.
