The Society for Endocrinology, established in 1946, is a UK-based membership organisation that stands as a global podium for those working with hormones. With the core purpose of improving public health, it advances endocrine education and research, and actively engages a broader audience with hormone science. Bioscientifica, the Society's trading subsidiary, further amplifies this mission by providing world-class publishing and association management to the biomedical community, with all profits fuelling the Society's vision of becoming a world-leading authority on hormones.
The Society's growth from a modest group of academics to a robust team of 80 is a testament to its commitment to creating an adaptive and flexible work environment. The Society values individual voices, and champions open and honest internal communication. The Executive Team diligently adapts to hybrid working, taking employee feedback on board and implementing changes where necessary. This includes improved communication of business plans and strategies and comprehensive review of processes based on employee survey results.
The Society's Leadership Team embodies the principles of hard work and caring for people, striving to engage all staff members. Clarity and accountability are ensured through the introduction of Terms of Reference for all management tiers. The Society also celebrates its successes and values camaraderie, with breakfasts, cake sales, and seasonal company social events. The monthly Hang-outs, attended both in person and online, foster a strong sense of community and engagement among staff. The Society for Endocrinology is not just a place of work but a vibrant, global community advancing the science of hormones.
