The Burrill Report (February 11, 2013): Pharma's Growing Talent Gap (.MP3,12.95 Mb)
As pharmaceutical companies have reinvented their R&D operations through partnerships with academia, contract research organizations, and biopharmaceutical companies, a talent gap is growing in the scientific workforce, according to a new report from PwC's Health Research Institute. PwC argues that the new R&D models need equally innovative HR strategies to find the right mix of scientific talent, skills, and incentives. We spoke to Mike Mentesana, U.S. pharmaceuticals and life sciences R&D advisory services leader for PwC, about the report, how companies are trying to address the talent gap, and why pharma needs to think differently about the role of its HR departments.
