Our mission

To improve human health and well being through innovative diagnostic tests and global partnerships. Sara Health Care is focused on selling a wide range of specialist products, primarily in the in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) market

Having a strong and cohesive culture makes achieving our mission possible. Our culture is a driving force behind an employee’s engagement and performance, and ultimately, our success in the markets we serve. We engage deeply caring and talented employees who want to establish Sara Health Care. They are people who make a difference, leading change in their teams and workplaces, and inspiring others to take action consistent with our culture pillars.

We view corporate citizenship and social responsibility as fundamental to our role as a member of the global community.

First Quality touches everything we create, do, and deliver. It is essential to every role and every function, not just products. It shows in how we interact and in the quality of the people we hire, develop and retain. We speak of quality daily and when collaborating, achieving the best quality outcomes guides our decisions and actions. We know that ‘what is measured improves’, so we are diligent to measure appropriately and effectively. And, we always believe we can do better. Quality means we understand what matters most to customers and we deliver. Quality strengthens our Sara brand and stimulates great pride for employees and customers.

Empowering individuals to take greater control of their health is the reason we exist. We do this by empowering employees to make the right choices with the patient in mind. We have a natural curiosity, openness and a sense of empathy for the people whose problems we are trying to solve. Whether a production worker is assembling diagnostic devices, a sales professional is connecting with doctors and hospitals, a technical expert is enhancing our patient portal, a call centre nurse is assuring concerned patients, or a group of volunteers are bringing aid to support their local community, we believe our actions have a profound impact on people’s lives.

We deliver new ideas that work. Whether it’s an incremental improvement to a current process or a breakthrough healthcare solution, opportunities for innovation are everywhere. What is exciting about innovation at Alere is that everyone can approach a challenge with openness to all possibilities. We encourage employees to try new things. Through experimentation we’re learning new practices and technologies, and showing our commitment to continuously improving performance. New ideas are only part of the innovation equation. It also takes speed to market balancing a disciplined process with flexibility. We will continue to lead our industry, deploying transformational diagnostic products and health information solutions. We do not chase the market – we create it. We do not react – we lead.

We excel at building strong local teams and strive to build networks of teams across geographies and businesses. We find ways to break silos and align efforts as one enterprise to deliver patient centric solutions to the market. Collaboration fuels our business. Whether it happens between employees, partners or customers, collaboration unlocks innovation, insight, and engagement. Our collaboration is best when we can rely on each other and focus discussions on solutions for our customers. .

Do the right things and get the right things done. We believe it is up to us, and none other, to ensure success. Our employees have soaring feelings of personal pride in their work. We accept good and bad outcomes with an eagerness to make things right. We believe that creating higher levels of personal ownership drives better results. This happens when we accept change, get alignment on results and assign ownership early. Creating higher levels of ownership engages and empowers us to do all that we can to ensure results are achieved. .

Sharing information is everyone’s responsibility. From the top-down and the bottom-up, all employees give the “why” with the “what” that needs to get done. To avoid confusion and conflicting priorities, we take time to clarify outcomes and set the right priorities with teams and customers. We pay close attention to how we communicate and how often, respecting the input and opinions of one another. We encourage quality feedback from various sources as this leads to improvements. Our employees are incredibly resourceful at finding information while navigating our organization. Communication is like the air we breathe – it is all around us and is essential for our livelihood. We believe it is a significant tool for greater engagement and strategic alignment.

We aspire to have a healthy culture where employees excel in the autonomy and ownership spirit. Our culture engages high performers, who set stretch goals and leverage strengths to achieve them. We come together with high a degree of collaboration, challenging the status quo and each other to do more, and to do better. Our commitment is to provide all employees with tools and resources to perform their best.
