Our Behaviors...
Like any employer, we look for the right combination of skills, qualifications, and experience from candidates. Just as important as what you know, though, are the qualities that make you who you are. We've broken these down into what we call Our Behaviors - five key characteristics we look for from day one, and if we invite you to meet us for an interview, there’s every chance we’ll be asking you about times when you lived up to them...
1. Collaborate with a Purpose
Teamwork is at the heart of our success; as the saying goes, none of us is as good as all of us. But that doesn't mean getting everybody into every meeting for every part of every project. Knowing when to seek consensus and when to accept accountability makes the best use of everybody's time and resources, and gets the job done efficiently and effectively.
2. Communicate with Candor
We're all trying to get to the same place – but we don’t always agree on how we get there. We need people with the courage to speak out (respectfully, of course!) when they see something wrong, or they can find a better way of doing things
3. Decide and Act with Speed
We live in a fast-moving world, and we work in a fast-evolving business. Opportunities arise quickly... and can disappear just as fast. We don't believe in rushing into decisions but, once we have the information we need, we believe in making our choices decisively, and acting without delay to seize those opportunities.
4. Innovate and Drive Change
We've come up with some groundbreaking products, and we have more waiting in the wings that will transform millions of lives around the world. Innovation is our lifeblood - but not just in terms of products; we are constantly looking for better ways to do business, to run our facilities, and to cooperate with partners around the world. Why should innovation stay in the laboratory?
5. Deliver to Win
How you get there really counts... but what matters most is that you do get there. Our people believe in finishing what they start, in keeping their promises - and ours. That's what makes us leaders in this industry: delivering wins for our business and, more importantly, for our patients worldwide.
...and four things we promise our people!
If all that sounds like your approach to work, then there’s a way we behave towards our people that we think you’ll appreciate. We call it the People Promise, and it means that everyone who works here will be able to do four key things…
1. To develop your own path
At Boehringer Ingelheim, your development is a priority. From self-learning to mentorship and growth, you’ll also have regular check-ins with your people leaders to ensure your voice is heard and your goals are set.
2. To make millions of lives better
We’re making major investments to create global accessibility to healthcare. Just by being part of the team, you’re helping to transform lives for generations.
3. To see differences as strengths
As a global business, we understand the strength in diversity. Every employee has access to programs and groups that ensure your health and wellbeing are looked after, as well as a strong culture of equity and inclusion.
4. To break new ground
You’re part of a global network that’s constantly innovating. As we invest significantly in medical issues that have an unmet need, we encourage collaboration and partnerships that enhance our knowledge and get results.
