Boehringer Ingelheim Canada is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. Founded more than 130 years ago by Albert Boehringer, the familyowned company is driven to find new and better ways of improving the health of humans and animals. With approximately 600 employees across Canada, Boehringer Ingelheim nurtures a diverse, collaborative and open environment that attracts people of exceptional character and ability. “We are extremely proud of this award,” said Ruta Stauskas, vice president of human resources. “It reflects the value we place on our employees and what they bring every day to improving the health of patients in Canada.” Employees enjoy a highly competitive compensation package along with flexible benefits and a defined contribution pension plan. This provides a solid foundation for a number of programs that, together, create a rewarding workplace environment. Thanks to a flexible workplace policy, employees are encouraged to manage their workdays themselves to balance their life responsibilities such as family obligations or health issues. Career development is strongly encouraged at Boehringer Ingelheim. Every employee has an annual development plan to promote a constant learning approach. “We support our employees throughout their careers, whether it’s moving up, expanding a current role or moving cross-functionally,” explains Stauskas. Employees who begin a career in the human side of the business can look for opportunities to move to the animal side, or vice versa. With so much emphasis on the value of employees, it’s no surprise that recognition is an important part of the workplace culture. Its program, Winning Spirit, promotes recognition for achievements, not only from management, but peer to peer. It’s all part of the collaborative culture of Boehringer Ingelheim that encourages a team-based approach to finding innovative solutions. Tying this together is a trait shared by all employees – a passion for improving the health of human and animal patients. The Canadian headquarters of Boehringer Ingelheim is located in Burlington, Ontario. The company is a strong supporter of community and charitable organizations across Canada and is proud of the support it provides to the local community. Boehringer Ingelheim’s animal division prides itself on creating the future of animal well-being through preventive care – whether by preventing disease or by preventing pain. Boehringer Ingelheim believes that when animals are healthy, humans are healthier too.
