Our most important asset in achieving this is our people. We understand that when you grow, so do we. That’s why we believe in empowering our employees to make decisions about their careers, learning, development and performance objectives.

With knowledge at the core of our company, we promote life-long learning, so we encourage our employees to earn further qualifications via external programs. We offer access to MBAs, postdoctoral programs and other relevant courses from a range of selected universities and business schools, leading to diplomas and further academic degrees. You’ll get help choosing a course through consultation with your supervisor and our Human Resources team.
Promoting scientific excellence is one of the ways we grow sustainably, together. If you’re a talented and ambitious scientist, our postdoctoral program gives you the opportunity to pursue cutting-edge research with industry experts and colleagues. As a postdoc fellow you’ll explore challenging areas of research, creating the starting point for new therapeutic concepts and technologies. You’ll pave the way for the discovery and development of breakthrough medicines that will change the lives of patients, now and in the future.
Our vision is to be a leader in digital, to make it part of our DNA. Reverse mentoring
pairs senior executives with digital natives (often our graduates and young
professionals) who can share their expertise in the use of today’s technology and communications. This brings learning opportunities for both mentors and mentees:
not just upscaling our digital capabilities but building business knowledge, confidence
and courage to try new things, exposure and mentoring experience.
We need leaders who inspire fresh thinking, drive purposeful innovation and understand how to get the best from our most important resource: our people. The Executive in Residence program is an individually tailored leadership development opportunity that offers our executives intensive 2-week to 6-month placements at Making More Health organizations. There, they work alongside dynamic social entrepreneurs and their teams on strategically relevant projects, gaining an entirely new experience with a different set of challenges.
We recognize and encourage potential in everyone – even as a leader, at Boehringer Ingelheim, you’re still discovering your true potential. Exposure is an accelerated global leadership development program, focused on learning more about our international operations and about yourself as a future international leader. In partnership with the IESE Business School you’ll undergo a six-month journey, with learning components that expose you to meaningful growth experiences in the global business environment, and help you to develop still further as a leader.
Success, today and tomorrow, depends on constant honing of our leadership agility. That’s why we offer Connectivity: a series of leadership development interventions aimed at helping leaders like you to refine the skills you need to excel in an uncertain, complex and ever-changing business world. Over three months, it provides two face-to-face modules supported by virtual activities – all aimed at turning different perspectives into unified strengths to underpin our performance for the future.
