ELPEN: When Care Becomes an Investment in the Future
With over 60 years of history, ELPEN is Greece’s largest pharmaceutical exporter. Its products are exported to more than 90 countries, while the company maintains subsidiaries in Berlin and Dubai. With more than 2,000 employees across the Group, ELPEN has consistently invested in research, quality, and innovation, always placing people at the heart of its operations and embracing the values of Respect, Care, Commitment to Quality, and Creative Curiosity.
The Goal
ELPEN chose to offer the MyOrama vocational guidance program to its employees’ children, recognizing that genuine care for its people extends to their families.
The initiative aimed to support young people in making one of the most important decisions of their lives by providing reliable, scientifically grounded guidance on their studies and future career paths. At the same time, the initiative reinforced the company’s strategy of fostering a workplace where people always come first.
The Solution
What ELPEN found particularly important about MyOrama was its personalized approach and the scientifically grounded guidance it provides to young people as they make decisions about their studies and future career paths.
At ELPEN, supporting its people has always been a priority, one that extends beyond the workplace to include their families. The company’s decision to offer this program reflects this philosophy and represents another tangible expression of the values that guide it: Respect, Care, Commitment to Quality, and Creative Curiosity.
Through initiatives like this, ELPEN aims to support future generations, giving its employees’ children the opportunity to discover their potential and plan their future with greater confidence.
The Benefits
The initiative was warmly welcomed by employees, who appreciated the company’s tangible support during such an important stage in their families’ lives. Participants reported that the program helped them better understand their abilities and approach their educational and career choices with greater confidence.
The Results
The collaboration with MyOrama had a positive impact on ELPEN employees and their families, providing meaningful support during an important period for their children’s future. At the same time, this benefit served as another tangible expression of ELPEN’s longstanding commitment to its people, helping to foster employee engagement, pride, and a sense of belonging. The company further reinforced its people-centric culture and its ongoing commitment to creating meaningful value for its employees and their families.
This philosophy is also reflected in ELPEN’s consistent recognition as one of the most attractive employers in Greece. For the fifth consecutive year, the company ranked among the Top 10 most attractive employers in the Randstad Employer Brand Research 2026, reaffirming that investing in its people remains a long-term strategic choice and a key pillar of its success.
