CARY, N.C., Jan. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chiesi USA, Inc. (key-A-zee), the U.S. affiliate of Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A., an international research-focused healthcare Group (Chiesi Group), announced today that the company has been named a Top Employer in the United States for the seventh year in a row. The Top Employers Institute, a leading authority on identifying and measuring employment best practices worldwide, certifies this recognition each year with nearly 1,700 honorees globally.

“This recognition brings immense gratitude throughout our organization, especially after nearly two years of transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Jon Zwinski, General Manager and CEO of Chiesi USA. “The needs and priorities of our employees have changed, so our strategies have changed to meet them, all while continuing to create a workplace culture that respects, values and fulfills every member of our team.”

Companies must re-apply for certification each year.

“We deeply thank our human resources team who generously give their time, energy and passion to ensure we remain a company that people feel excited and proud to be part of,” continued Mr. Zwinski. “The entire Chiesi USA team celebrates this certification as we continue our people-first commitment that allows us to achieve this high standard year after year.”
