Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry

Executive Summary
The pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars annually on gifts to
physicians often these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g.,
anatomical oodles) or learning (e.g., textbooks), but gifts may also be of a more personal
nature (e.g., vent tickets). Serious ethical concerns have been raised that gifts from the
pharmaceutical industry to individual health care professionals risk compromising health
care providers professional objectivity and integrity, and/or undermining their
fundamental ethical commitment to putting the interests of patients first. This report
discusses the special nature of gift relationships, examines why gifts to health care
professionals from the pharmaceutical industry may be ethically problematic, and reviews
professional ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts.

CONCLUSION:
Assessment of overall performance of the pharmaceutical firms, as
perceived by research sample, was relatively high;, only learning/ growth/ innovation
dimension got an assessment below high level. Performance measures which were assessed
a little below high level were:
Resources acquisition and utilization
Employees satisfaction
attracting new customers
introducing new policies, strategies, etc
Only one performance indicator was below the mean of the scale (3); that was
development of new production methods.
Research findings indicated rather strong positive relationship between Employee and
organization performance at NRI vision care chemical firms.

OGANISATIOZATION PROFILE:
Health care professionals who prescribe pharmaceutical products base their
prescription decisions on many factors including effectiveness, safety, and cost. In an effort
to influence practitioners prescribing practices, the pharmaceutical industry employs diverse
marketing and promotional strategies, among them offers of free drug samples, educational
materials, meals, and other forms of gifts. These efforts are both intensive and expensive. In
2001 the drug industry spent more than $16 billion on visits to physicians offices. In the last
five years the number of pharmaceutical company sales representatives in the U.S. has
increased from 42,000 to 88,000.1 Some 80% of physicians report having been offered cash
or gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives.2 Many physicians meet with
pharmaceutical industry representatives four or more times per month.3 Serious ethical
concerns have been raised about these contacts between the pharmaceutical industry and
individual health care professionals, especially when gifts are involved.4-9 The practice of
accepting gifts from pharmaceutical industry representatives risks compromising health care
providers professional objectivity and integrity, and undermining their fundamental ethical
commitment to putting the interests of patients first. Gift incentives to participate in
continuing professional education programs are the wrong incentives for health care
professionals and trainees, who should be independently motivated to participate in lifelong
learning.7 And there are economic consequences when the costs of gifts are passed along to
patients, health care institutions, and third-party payers in the form of higher prices for drugs.
Escalating drug costs may ultimately result in limitations on access to care. Federal
regulations (at 5 CFR, Part 2635) establish standards for conduct in relation to gifts for all
federal employees. But anecdotal reports from the field indicate that beyond these mandated
thresholds, local facilities policies about accepting gifts from the pharmaceutical industry
vary widely within VHA. To address this state of affairs, new national policy limits the

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


access representatives of the pharmaceutical industry may have to facilities and staff.* This
national guidance provides a foundation for the development of more uniform local policies
throughout the system. This report by the VHA National Ethics Committee examines the
values at stake in relationships between practitioners and the pharmaceutical industry from
the perspective of health care ethics. Its goal is to clarify the philosophical and professional
concerns that underlie regulations and policy in this area. The report addresses gifts provided
to individual health care professionals by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry.
Often these gifts consist of items that are designed to enhance patient care (e.g., reflex
hammers, anatomical models) or learning (e.g., meals at educational events, textbooks), but
gifts may also be of a more personal nature (e.g., organizers, event tickets). The promotional
nature of gifts may be subtle or obvious, depending on, for example, whether a sponsor or
product name is prominently displayed. For this report gifts are distinguished from purely
promotional items that have no intrinsic value to the recipient (e.g., product brochures) and
from compensation for professional work (e.g., honoraria). The report discusses the
definition of gifts, examines why gifts to health care professionals from the pharmaceutical
industry may be ethically problematic in the health care setting, and reviews professional
ethical guidelines and legal standards regarding acceptance of gifts. It offers practical
recommendations to guide ethical policy within VHA. Although the analysis and
recommendations offered here were developed specifically in reference to gifts from
pharmaceutical representatives, they apply equally to gifts from representatives of medical
manufacturers Gifts provided to institutions are beyond the scope of this report.* What Is a
Gift? Webster defines a gift as: something bestowed voluntarily and without
compensation.12 Although this definition captures our casual understanding of a gift as
something given with no expectation that the recipient will reciprocate, it misses much of the
social aspect of gifts that make gifts from pharmaceutical representatives to health care
professionals ethically challenging. Gifts have deep and sometimes contradictory cultural
meanings.13 Unlike contracts, in which parties set out clear, explicit expectations, gifts
place people in binding personal relationships that generate vague, open-ended moral
obligations. The importance of a gift lies in the personal relationship it generates, sustains,
and signifies.14 Why Are Gifts Ethically Problematic? Because gifts create relationships,
health care professionals acceptance of gifts from the pharmaceutical industry can be

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


ethically problematic in several ways. Accepting gifts risks undermining trust. It may bias
clinicians judgments about the relative merits of different medications. And it may affect
prescribing patterns in ways that increase costs and adversely affect access to care.
Undermining Patient & Public Trust. Health care professionals fiduciary, or trust-based,
relationship with patients requires that practitioners explain the reasons for treatment
decisions and disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including the influence of gifts. One
study asked patients and physicians to rate how appropriate it would be for a physician to
accept gifts (ranging from pens to trips) from the pharmaceutical industry, and whether they
thought accepting gifts would influence the physicians behavior.15 With the exception of
drug samples, the patients considered gifts to be more influential than did the physicians.
Almost half of the patients who participated had not been aware that physicians received gifts
from pharmaceutical companiesand of those, 24% said that this new knowledge changed
their perception of the medical profession. Similarly, a telephone survey of patients found
that although 82% of respondents were aware that physicians received office-use gifts from
the pharmaceutical industry, only about one-third were aware that physicians received
personal gifts.16 Forty-two percent believed that personal gifts adversely affect both the cost
and the quality of health care. On the basis of such data, the American College of Physicians
has concluded that [a] significant number of patients believe that industry gifts bias their
physicians prescribing practices and ultimately drive up medical costs.17 Public awareness
that health care professionals accept gifts from pharmaceutical representatives may
undermine trust in the profession and lead to a perceived loss of professional integrity. VHA
is a public agency and public service is considered a public trust. Consequently, the public
rightly hold VHA to a higher ethical standard than they do private companies. As federal
employees, health professionals appointed to VHA have an obligation to ensure that citizens
can have complete

Retention Programs to Retain Pharmaceutical Employees:
State of the Industry:
In the highly regulated Pharmaceutical Industry, jobs have become more stressful
and complicated. Fierce competition has driven salaries higher and higher and benefits
must be constantly improved. Although the Pharmaceutical Industry has lower turnover
rates compared to other industries, the cost of turnover is much greater. With strict
regulations and rigid timelines, a research specialist's resignation leaves your company
with a delay in product development and a loss of talent. Additionally, when a
pharmaceutical representative leaves, they take the client relationships with them. These
stringent regulations leave employee actions vulnerable to repercussions from their boss,
the government, and sometimes even the media making retaining talented employees
invaluable.
How Can Retinas Help? In order to retain your employees and reduce turnover, a
proactive approach is critical. Retensa can help your Pharmacy organization achieve these
goals by constructing an employee retention strategy according to your company's
strengths, weaknesses, budget, and goals. Recruiting, hiring, On Boarding, and training are
especially important in the Pharmaceutical Industry. An analysis using our Emergent
Employee Life Cycle can give you an accurate picture of what current processes are
successful and which ones are not as effective as they could be. Retensa creates an action
plan with clear recommendations for improvement based on these findings. We also use
exit interviews and employee engagement surveys to learn why employees leave your
company and what you can do to better retain them.
Costumer focus:

To Satisfy our customers' needs and expectations

To Make commitments we fully understand and believe we can meet

To Meet all commitments to customers on time

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


Performance Driven:

To Verify that our products and services meet agreed requirements

To Monitor, benchmark and continuously improve our business, products, services,


organization and employees' performance

Statistics
Because drug promotion is so complex this paper can only be a quick introduction
covering only the tip of the iceberg. I will have to simplify many complex issues. I
apologize for any misunderstandings or distortion that may result. The understanding of
drug promotion is also complex and difficult for the following reasons:
The greatest obstacle to discovering the truth is being convinced that you already know it.
Many doctors believe that they all ready know everything they need to know about drug
promotion so they are not open to reconsidering their beliefs.
Peter Mansfield: Healthy Skepticism about pharmaceutical promotion page 2
Because we swim in a see of promotion we dont notice it, just like fish may not notice
the water that they swim in.
The issues are not black and white.
The conclusions from psychological research about persuasion do not fit well with the
current belief systems of many health professionals. Many reject these conclusions because
they feel wrong or difficult to believe without assessing the strength of the evidence. This
tendency of people to reject facts if they feel that they are implausible was known by the
ancients. Plato who attributed the following quote to Socrates discussing sophistry: In
courts of justice no attention is paid whatever to the truth all that matters is plausibility...
both prosecution and defense positively suppress the facts in favour of probability, if the
facts are improbable. Never mind the truth -- pursue probability through thick and thin in
every kind of speech; the whole secret of the art of speaking lies in consistent adherence to
this principle. (Plato, Phaedrus 272). Thucydides wrote that "When someone finds a
conclusion agreeable, they accept it without argument, but when they finds it disagreeable,
they will bring against it all the forces of logic and reason." Modern psychologists call
these tendencies
confirmation bias.
Many health professionals perceive any discussion of drug promotion to be a threat to
their freedom to choose
for themselves what to do, including whether or not to accept gifts from drug companies.
Psychological

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


research has found that threats to freedom often elicit reactance. Reactance is an emotional
reaction against
threats to freedom or pressure to change. Reactance can cause people to adopt or
strengthen views contrary to
what was intended.
What is promotion?
Promotion can be defined as persuasion with the aim or effect of increasing or
decreasing the use, sales or acceptance of a product, service or idea. Promotion is a subset
of marketing. The 3 other main components of marketing are: developing the product,
pricing and distribution or placement. Thus the 4 Ps of marketing are: product, price,
promotion and place. Promotion includes many methods: advertising, sales representatives,
gifts, samples, sponsorship, public relations etc.
Do we think we are influenced?
Many studies around the world have found similar results to a study by Steinman et
al (2001). When they asked young US physicians: How much influence do sales
representatives have on your prescribing? the answers were: 61% none;38% a little and
1% a lot. It seems that the majority of us are confident that we are completely or nearly
completely invulnerable to promotion. However we are not so confident about our
colleagues. When asked How much influence do sales representatives have on other
physicians prescribing? the answers were: 16% none; 33% a little and 51% a lot.1 have It
is very common for humans to believe that they are at lower risk of harm than other
people. Psychologists call this the illusion of unique invulnerability. Consequently if you
think you not vulnerable to being misled by drug promotion you are in the majority.
However, there is also evidence that this illusion increases vulnerability. Overconfidence
increases vulnerability because it reduces the motivation to think carefully about
persuasive messages so they are less likely to be rejected.2 One of the main reasons why
doctors are overconfident is that they believe that their high intelligence is an adequate
protection. Recently, an Australian national GP leader for denied that doctors were be
adversely influenced by drug promotion. His main justification for this denial was that:
Doctors have the intelligence to evaluate information from a clearly biased source.3

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


However intelligence is a risk factor for overconfidence and overconfidence is the main
risk factor for being vulnerable to misleading promotion. For example, a study of internet
fraud has found that clever people are easier to con To do the bigger scams you need
the victims to trust their own capabilities and experience A significant number of highloss cases involved specialists such as psychiatrists, psychologists and neuro-surgeons.4
Are we influenced?
Pharmaceutical industry staff believe that drug promotion is effective because
they see sales change soon after promotional activities occur. In 1964 advertising company
executive Pierre Garai disclosed that: As an advertising man, I can assure you that
advertising which does not work does not continue to run. If experience did not show
beyond Peter Mansfield: Healthy Skepticism about pharmaceutical promotion page 3
doubt that the great majority of doctors are splendidly responsive to current [prescription
drug] advertising, new techniques would be devised in short order.5
Pharmaceutical companies have a legal obligation to invest money only where it is most
likely to provide the highest return on investment. In many countries they have been the
most profitable of all industries for most of the past 100 years. They only invest in
promotional activities where they have good reason to believe are likely to increase prices
and/or sales volumes. They would not invest in promotion if it did not work on average to
provide high returns on investment. Drug companies spend huge amounts on promotion in
most countries. They may spend more in the USA but that is the only country where
reliable expenditure data is available. Pharmaceutical promotion in the United States in
2004 is as high as $57.5 billion Excluding direct-to-consumers advertising and
promotion towards pharmacists, the industry spent around $61,000 in promotion per
practicing physician As a percent of U.S. domestic sales of $ 235.4 billion, promotion
consumes 24.4% of the sales dollar versus 13.4% for R&D.6 The following graph shows
the volume of prescribing of drug A in a hospital in northern USA. The doctors in that
hospital were asked if they were influenced by drug promotion. They denied it. Initially the
level of prescribing was low. It increased when the doctors received an invitation to an all
expenses paid seminar about the drug in a resort in Florida. The level of prescribing
dropped while the doctors were away at the seminar then increased even more after they
got back.7 Perhaps the initial level of prescribing was too low and the post promotion level

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


was more appropriate. The main point here is that doctors who believed that they were not
influenced were in fact influenced. Observational evidence such as this study is not as
conclusive as randomized controlled trials. However the industry has millions of sales
graphs similar to this one.
Are we vulnerable to being misled?
I am a member of a team doing a systematic review of studies that have
measured doctors exposure to promotion and measured the quality of prescribing and
analyzed the relationship between those two measures. So far we have found 7

Two studies found no correlation. This could mean that promotion is not effective all the
time or perhaps there were effects that those 2 studies did not detect. One study found
mixed effects. Exposure to promotion was associated with higher levels of prescribing for

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


less common severe cases where the drug was appropriate (improving quality) but also
higher levels of prescribing for more common less severe cases where the drug was
inappropriate (decreasing quality). On the available evidence exposure to promotion can be
associated with increased or decreased quality of prescribing. It may sometimes have no
effect, in which case it is just a waste of money. It appears that overall exposure to drug
promotion may do more good than harm. There is not enough evidence of benefit to justify
doctors investing their limited time in allowing themselves to be exposed to drug
promotion. There is corruption in most professions including the medical profession.
However that is not the main problem arising from drug promotion. The main problem is
unintended bias. Social science research shows that even when individuals try to be
objective their judgments are subject to an unconscious and unintentional self-serving
bias.8
What percentage of promotion is potentially misleading?
The answer to this question depends on definition used. My definition is:
Promotion is potentially misleading when it omits relevant information that is needed for
good decisions or includes persuasion techniques that that have been
identified as potentially misleading in studies of logic, critical appraisal, psychology or
rhetoric. These techniques ay be
used deliberately with intent to mislead or ay be used innocently by people who have been
misled themselves. For 25 years I have been looking for an example of promotion that is
not potentially misleading. The reason I want such an example is that I want to influence
drug companies and praise is a more effective way to influence people than criticism.
However I have not been able to find any examples in Australia or any of the many other
countries I have visited. Sometimes I have found advertisements that I initially think are ok
but on loser examination I find that they had fooled me. I frequently ask audiences at the
talks I give to send an example of promotion that is not potentially misleading butnone
have been sent to me. If you see a good example please send it to me at
peter@healthyskepticism.org. It is still possible that some promotion is ok but I think the
parentage must be very small. I conclude that the percentage of promotion is potentially
misleading is likely to be near 100%.

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry

Overview of pharmaceutical:
Clinical research and development in the drug industry must be understood in the current
political and economic context of medical neoliberalism (Fisher 2007a; forthcoming). In
the US, neoliberalism is the guiding ideology behind economic policies that emphasize a
reduction in social services provided by the state and an increase in the role of the private
(for-profit) sector in the provision of social goods, such as health care, welfare, and
education (Monahan 2006). Medical neoliberalism, in particular, is manifest in a consumer
model of health characterized by an inequitable distribution of services according to who
can pay for different kinds of care (Frank 2002). The pharmaceutical industry benefits
from neoliberal forms of health care because un(der)insured populations in the US can be
recruited as human subjects into clinical trials in exchange for limited, medical attention
for the duration of studies (Fisher 2007b).5 In addition, many health care providers are
looking for new ways to increase their revenue through a diversification of services (Gray
1993). In this climate, physicians become targeted as potential investigators on
pharmaceutical studies (Pham et al. 2004). The resulting organization of clinical trials has
important implications for relationships of trust in drug development. Pharmaceutical
clinical trials are characterized as contract research. Unlike investigator-initiated research,
those conducting pharmaceutical studies rarely have any role in defining the research
questions, designing the protocols, or analyzing the results. Instead, scientists and
researchers at pharmaceutical companies determine these elements of clinical trials, and
clinicians are then hired to execute the protocols using their patients as subjects. Although
physicians at academic medical centers and university hospitals confer legitimacy and
prestige on pharmaceutical studies, the bulk of contract research is conducted in the private
sector by physicians in private practices or for-profit, dedicated research centers.

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry

Conceptual framework:
The concept of trust provides a useful lens for exploring relationships among
pharmaceutical companies, clinicians (i.e., physicians and research coordinators), and
human subjects engaged in drug development. In the majority of scholarship on trust in
medicine, the focus is primarily trained on patients trust in their personal care providers,
human subjects trust in the researchers or institutions conducting clinical trials, and
citizens trust in their health care delivery systems (e.g., Mill man 1977; Mechanic 1996;
Kao et al. 1998; ONeill 2002; Allsop 2006). Yet, for pharmaceutical clinical trials to
operate effectively, clinicians must trust the pharmaceutical companies with which they are
working and pharmaceutical companies must trust the clinicians and human subjects. With
each of these relationships, trust is multifaceted and negotiated as individuals respond to
their own and others institutional opportunities and constraints. Several modes of trust are
critical for the success of clinical development. In the clinical trials industry as seen
elsewhere, trust is necessary to ensure effective cooperation of all relevant actors and
organizations (see Luhmann 1979; La Porta et al. 1997). One way of understanding this
dynamic is to distinguish between how trust is constituted differently in individuals and
institutions. This difference in types of trust is important because both levelsthe
individual and institutionalcan shape the other, but each have unique implications,
particularly if trust is misplaced (ONeill 2002). Specifically, trust in individuals may
overemphasize those actors intentions and motives while obscuring the effects of how
institutions structure (and limit) that trust (Shapiro 1987). For example, physicians
conducting drug trials may indeed have the best interest of human subjects in mind, but
nonetheless they have only limited jurisdiction over decision-making regarding subjects
participation. Thus, subjects trust in those physicians may give them a false sense of
confidence that their wellbeing is appropriately safeguarded. Examining trust at the level
of individuals can ignore the myriad constraints that are placed on the range of individual
actions and choices.confidence in the integrity of the federal government (5 CFR
2635.101; EO 12674). Whereas the public relies on legal enforcement mechanisms to

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


assure that private health care organizations comply with relevant law and regulation, they
expect public agencies and employees to adopt policies that not merely follow the rule of
law but also promote its spirit by establishing goals of exemplary behavior as ethical
standards. Acceptance of any type of gift from the pharmaceutical industry by VHA
employees risks eroding public trust in VHA, possibly to a greater degree than would be
the case for employees in private agencies. More importantly, the beneficiaries of
government programsveterans, in the case of VHAare often more dependent on
government services than are those who rely on private programs. This greater dependence
gives rise to the governments obligation to adhere to a stricter ethical standard. Effects on
Professional Relationships. Given the ways in which gift giving differs from entering into
a contractual relationship, gifts from pharmaceutical representatives to health care
professionals can blur the distinction between formal business exchanges and informal,
interpersonal exchanges.13 The social experience of giving and receiving gifts affects the
relationship between the two parties in complex and subtle ways. Anthropological
literature13 explains that the recipient of a gift often feels three types of obligation toward
the giver: grateful conduct (i.e., acceptance of the gift and expression of gratitude), grateful
use (i.e., in accord with the givers intention), and reciprocation. Obligations to accept the
gift and thank the giver and to use the gift as the giver intended stem from the purpose of
gift exchangebuilding personal, moral relationships. The felt obligation to reciprocate, to
give or do something in exchange for the gift is most troubling in the health care context.
As Murray notes, Appropriate reciprocation depends on particular cultural norms and the
specifics of the relationship.13 In the context of a gift to a health care professional from a
pharmaceutical industry representative, practitioners commonly understand that the hoped
for reciprocation involves the health care professional writing more prescriptions for the
drug(s) the representative is promoting. Bias & Conflicts of Interest. Health care
professionals may be influenced by accepting gifts in two ways. As we have noted, they
understand that prescribing selected pharmaceutical products is the industrys preferred
form of reciprocation, and some may be influenced to do so in response to the gift
received. One study, for example, found that physicians who met with or accepted money
from representatives of pharmaceutical companies (e.g., for educational presentations)
were more likely to request that the companies drugs be added to a hospital pharmacy than

were colleagues who did not interact with pharmaceutical companies.18 A review of
physicians prescribing patterns found that usage of two drugs increased significantly
among physicians who attended all-expense-paid symposia at resorts sponsored by the
manufacturer of the drugs compared to their practice before the symposia.19 The majority
of physicians responding did not believe that such incentives would alter their prescribing
practices. Similarly, a recent study reported that British general practitioners who had
weekly contact with drug company representatives were more willing to prescribe new
drugs and more likely to express views that will lead to unnecessary prescribing than
general practitioners with less frequent contact with pharmaceutical representatives.20 The
second concern is that gifts may insidiously introduce undetected or under appreciated bias
into professionals assessment of the overall merit or value of promoted pharmaceutical
products. There is evidence to indicate that practitioners themselves are often poor judges
of whether or when external factors, such as gifts, influence their decision making.3, 15,
2123 For example, 86% of respondents to a nurse practitioner and physician assistant
survey regarding pharmaceutical industry.

Retention of employees training:


H ere training fits in. Many employers believe that training boosts morale,
enhances motivation, and improves personnel retention. Marriott hotels found, for
example, that effective training of its entry-level workers had a profound effect on keeping
these employees.
The Florida Power Corp. reduced its annual turnover rate from 48% to 9% using a unique
combination of training and employment screening. After receiving instruction in 12
essential skills, job applicants were expected to successfully demonstrate these skills. A
1992 Southport Institute study of workplace education concluded that the longer an
organization had an educational program in place for its personnel, the more likely it was
to experience lower turnover, improved morale, and reduced hostility among its people.[2]
* What else affects turnover? While there have been other reports of dramatic decreases in
employee turnover due to effective training, most of these studies lack validity since during

Retention of employees in pharmaceutical industry


the periods studied there were concomitant changes that could have influenced turnover
rates. For instance, Roma Lee Taunton attempted to measure the impact of management
training on turnover among nurses. Although her findings suggested a positive causeeffect, results may have been skewed: At the time of her study, considerable downsizing of
hospitals was taking place in her area.[2] It seems to follow that anything that increases
unemployment may also increase worker retention.
Employee selection procedures can also distort turnover studies (better selection often
results in diminished turnover). Richard Wellins is quoted as saying, "If you have a
turnover problem ... 8 of 10 times it may very well be due to selection of personnel rather
than (lack of) training."
Leadership styles and major management innovations have a significant impact on
turnover, too. Wellins found, for instance, that the turnover rate in work-team--oriented
facilities was sometimes half that of similar institutions with traditional workermanagement structures.
Almost anything that influences morale can affect turnover (salary and benefits, new
policies or practices, changes in leadership, union organizing activities, to name just a
few). If you believe employee attitude surveys truly reflect morale, and you accept the
theory that morale is an important factor in personnel retention, then there is abundant
evidence to support the fact that training positively affects holding onto employees. A
study of chain-store employees showed a marked reduction in employee dissatisfaction
after an interpersonal skills training program was implemented. Jo Westfall claims that
satisfaction surveys led to improved laboratory employee retention.
