Flexible working models are implemented throughout Boehringer Ingelheim’s offices globally with recently added flexibility to work abroad. The company also ensures equitable rewards and benefits tailored to employees at every career stage to foster an attractive and supportive work environment.

Aylin Dodanli, Head of Human Resources for the IMETA region at Boehringer Ingelheim, added: “Our leadership model involves empowering employees to shape their own career journeys which strikes a balance between their aspirations and well-being.

This recognition highlights our commitment to creating a high-performing and inclusive workplace where our employees can truly develop both professionally and individually.

By fostering a culture of continuous learning and development, we empower our people to deliver innovative solutions that improve the lives of patients and animals across the region.”
