Family-friendly and flexible work

We trust our employees to work from home, and we make sure they have the equipment and infrastructure they need to be productive from anywhere in the world.
Every person is unique, every day is different, and every job has specific requirements. We offer a hybrid working model, mixing on-site work with working from home and a flexible framework that enables our employees to shape their working hours – because what you do matters more than when or where you do it.
At our headquarters in Aachen, for example, we offer a child day care centre with space for 70 children. It offers childcare in English and German, and supports our employees in balancing their family commitments with their professional commitments.

Health and wellbeing

We offer discounts for gym memberships and fitness activities at many of our sites to help our employees stay happy, healthy and energised. Our sites regularly host Health Day or Health Week events that provide information about the latest topics related to fitness, nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

Social security and remuneration

We operate a standardised and transparent global process for annual salary increases that takes individual performance and market benchmarks into account. Employees receive an annual bonus based on individual performance and the performance of our company overall, while Sales employees receive a sales-related incentive. Employees also receive access to attractive insurance offers such as accident insurance or life insurance, depending on the specific local or national requirements or conditions.

Personal growth

We make sure our employees are able to explore ways of maximising their performance and developing new skills at all times. As an international company, we are able to offer employees the chance to live and work in countries around the globe. Development and training are key points of focus for our company, and we offer an ever-increasing range of internal and external opportunities to boost our employees’ personal and professional growth.

Social responsibility

We have a long track record of engaging in social initiatives worldwide, and offer employees opportunities to take time off work to participate in activities that contribute to social progress or environmental protection. On top of this, many of our employees get actively involved in the wide range of social responsibility projects and initiatives that Grünenthal supports around the world. You can read more about these activities here.

Extra

Many of our sites offer a canteen where employees can purchase nutritious and locally-sourced food at subsidised prices. And we also provide free parking at many of our sites around the world.
