At Boehringer Ingelheim we attract and reward our employees with competitive salaries that acknowledge experience and individual skill-sets together with proven performance.

To do this, we commit to review each staff member's salary every year. This comprehensive and transparent salary review is based on evidence of knowledge, experience and competency; the achievement of actual results against key performance indicators; and consistency of performance. To keep pace with the market, we also take into account industry benchmark data, economic trends and our overall organisational performance to ensure our salaries remain competitive.

We reward our staff for realising their potential. Above and beyond our annual salary review, excellence is recognised and rewarded through our competitive Performance Bonus and Incentive Scheme, which includes uncapped components for applicable roles.
