Company values

At Shanur, we are bound by a set of values that govern every decision that we make to ensure that we are empowering our patients to make healthy choices with the aim of enriching their lives. These are the eight values that govern the culture within the company:
  • Building a 
    Career
    A position at Shanur is more than a just a job, it is an opportunity for every employee to grow with the company. Shanur offers a career ladder to all its employees, where they are given every opportunity to climb this ladder based solely on their merit and skills. More than this, for Shanur forging relationships with the other employees in the company is essential for creating a good environment to work and grow in. Therefore, we encourage all employees to create more than just a place to come to work in.
    Embracing 
    Diversity
    In a work environment, diversity can add a wide range of abilities, experience, knowledge and strengths to a company. Shanur is extremely proud of its diverse workforce and encourages everyone at their organisation to embrace this diversity by acknowledging the things that make us different. Connecting with people based on their culture helps employees perform better at work and in their personal life and thus, it is highly valued at Shanur.
    Every Idea 
    Counts
    Shanur puts innovation front and centre, no matter who or where the idea comes from. It is the idea that matters not the source of the idea and so, every single employee is encouraged to submit their ideas through a formal process. Each new idea submitted is reviewed by senior management and the good ones are piloted to determine its success. This culture of openness, in turn, fuels innovation, which is a driving force at Shanur.
  • Passion for Customers
    Shanur cares about their customers and it is this passion for customers that is at the heart of everything we do. We thrive on knowing that there are individuals whose lives are better because of the treatments we provide. Through our medications, we work to help people stay connected with their family, play with their kids and find happiness in their lives again.
    Performance 
    Driven
    At Shanur, we demand that all employees be performance driven. This helps the company achieve more in less time and helps to save on costs, which leaves time and money to provide even more cost-effective treatment and drugs. Ultimately, this helps improve the welfare of our patients, which is at the core of everything we do at Shanur.
    Thirst for 
    Change
    Without change the world would come to a standstill and eventually cease to exist. Therefore, Shanur understands the need for constant innovation. Shanur is a disruptive company because of our determination to look beyond the status quo. We are always encouraging our employees to nurture their inquisitive minds because it is these inquisitive minds that give rise to new products, new marketing strategies and personal growth.
  • Unyielding 
    Integrity
    Shanur is a company that is governed by honesty and integrity. These two principles ensure that every decision made within the business is not only lawful, but also follows a specific set of moral codes. In this way we aim for Shanur medications to be clinically proven and to contain active ingredients of the highest quality.
    A Boundary-less Culture
    At Shanur, we live a boundary-less culture where there is complete transparency across all departments. In this environment everyone knows exactly what everyone else is doing, and anyone can approach anyone in the organisation for clarity on any aspect of the business. Knowing the inner workings of the company helps each player understand their role and purpose in the company.
