According to Boehringer Ingelheim, 2023 is their third consecutive year of recognition from Top Employers Institute for their contribution to HR practices and strategies.

Boehringer Ingelheim was also acknowledged by Top Employers Institute in Australia and New Zealand for their people strategy, organisational change, work environment, leadership, and mental health plans.

Mr Otto continued: “As a family-owned business, we support our people with purpose-led leadership. We are also intentional with where we can have the greatest impact. All of this provides the greatest opportunity for our employees to grow.

“This approach keeps the customer at the centre of what we do and aligns us to a common purpose – transforming lives for generations,” he said.

Having a focus on people has helped the organisation to thrive. According to Boehringer Ingelheim, employees are provided with emotional security, mental health support, flexibility, training, development, and opportunities for volunteer work.

The head of human resources at Boehringer Ingelheim Australia and New Zealand, Lisa Price, discussed her business’ employee focus: “People are at the core of everything that our company does. The strong human dimension of our corporate culture demonstrates a commitment to our people as individuals, not just as professionals. The Top Employers award acknowledges that.”

She added: “Our people value our investment in humanistic skill development, such as influencing, stakeholder management and collaboration. Coaching and feedback are part of our daily work, and we believe everyone can lead, wherever they are in the business.”

Top Employers Institute reviewed 2,053 companies across 121 countries and picked the best 15 organisations.

Some of the other companies awarded include:

  • DHL Express
