Ways of Working
A Small But Spectacular Start
After years of 60-hour work weeks for CROs that were notorious for burning out workers, she developed an autoimmune disease that would forever change her vision of the medical writing industry. Life was too short for burnout. She wondered, “What would happen if there was a company that treated writers with respect, loyalty, and deeply cared for their work/life balance?”
Out of this question Global was born and the outcome has been spectacular: We attract the best, who then perform at their best, because this is a place where we fiercely take care of each other.
I guess you can say we do things differently here at Global.
We’re the first medical writing company to offer unlimited PTO, flexible schedules, company-paid, best-in-class medical benefits, bonuses and a generous profit-sharing plan to our employees. We approach projects in teams that allow us more flexibility and a balanced support system for our clients.
