Customer Engagement Model

From the beginning, Genentech has been a team of highly dedicated, passionate individuals. We are a place where people are united around a single purpose and an ambitious vision. Together, we aspire to deliver ever better health outcomes for patients while lowering overall healthcare costs.

In order to achieve our vision of delivering ever better health outcomes for patients while lowering overall healthcare costs, we are reinventing our customer engagement model. We started on this journey by listening to our customers, and learning from leaders in customer service in other industries. We learned customers are inundated with information on new treatment options. They’re overwhelmed by industry professionals vying for their time. We learned they are also focused on better outcomes at lower costs. And, we learned we are uniquely positioned to partner with many stakeholders across the healthcare system to achieve this goal.

In our new customer engagement model, we are bringing the full value of our portfolio to where healthcare is delivered - locally. No longer will a national strategy supercede local needs.

Each ecosystem has been designed around how patients receive care across the country. The ecosystem team will work together to better understand the needs of the ecosystem and put plans in place to address the needs, as well as identify partnership opportunities to advance our shared goals. And, every leader in our new customer engagement model will add direct customer accountabilities to their leadership responsibilities. We believe this is key in maintaining our customer focus and ensuring our model adapts and flexes over time.

As a member of the ecosystem team, you will be able to fully leverage your skills and capabilities alongside the full Genentech portfolio and our rich and robust pipeline. And, the simplicity of our model allows you to do more for your customers and patients, focusing on what is needed locally while also leveraging best practices from other ecosystems.

Join us as we strive to deliver ever better health outcomes for patients, lower overall healthcare costs and reinvent customer engagement in our industry.
