Veramed created a Christmas gift list to thank its employees for their exceptional efforts in 2020.

Devised by the contract research organisation's CEO Matt Jones, it allowed staff to recreate the childhood experience of creating a list for Father Christmas by choosing up to £250 of gifts, from Bose headphones to children's trampolines and designer handbags.

The company's employees were also treated to a pantomime performed by professional actors and were paid generous annual bonuses.

Formed in 2012, Veramed provides biostatistics and programming services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry.

Employee wellbeing is at the heart of everything Veramed does.  A rigorous resource forecasting process protects work-life balance, while the flat structure of the business and the opportunity to be heard regardless of role or level creates a unique culture that makes Veramed a truly rewarding place to work.

The employee assistance programme, which was introduced during the pandemic and is provided through Health Assured, provides a free counselling, legal and information service to employees and their families, 24/7.

Veramed's B Corp accreditation is a demonstration of its dedication to being a force for good and to the environment, community and most importantly to their employees.
