Boehringer Ingelheim continues to be one of the world’s most attractive employers in 2026. For the sixth consecutive year, the Top Employers Institute has certified the biopharmaceutical company as a “Global Top Employer.” The award highlights the company’s consistent commitment to creating a work environment where employee wellbeing is a top priority.

A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing

The company-wide wellbeing program supports employees across physical, mental, social, and financial dimensions of health. It is developed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team that continuously adapts offerings to the needs of a modern, evolving workplace.

The program includes health checks, fitness and prevention initiatives, as well as tailored mental health training for employees and leaders. In addition, confidential counseling services and psychological support are available. Training on financial topics and retirement planning, along with encouragement of voluntary and community engagement, further complement the program.

Flexibility, Development, and International Opportunities

The “Boehringer Ingelheim University” provides a global virtual campus offering access to learning resources worldwide. Employees can also temporarily work from abroad, allowing them to spend more time with family or friends living overseas.
