Tailor work conditions to your needs

At Bayer, we embrace flexibility. Time off for you time, family time, and time to learn and explore are vital for us as human beings. Our work flexibility empowers you to work when and where you’re at your best. Your options include non-traditional work schedules, from part-time to a compressed work week to job sharing. Volunteer opportunities, sabbaticals, and talent swaps are designed to inspire and enrich your work experience.

At Bayer being successful at work also means having the necessary trust and flexibility. In HR we strive to live that flexibility in our day to day and enable flexibility with our individual solutions. While going on assignment and working in another country for a period of time is a great option, we also strive to enable virtual support where possible.“

Shape your workplace experience

Being able to choose when and where you work is an integral part of our workplace experience. Whether you want to work on-site or from home, alone or in close proximity to your teams, we offer enabling digital technology and a range of working locations near you. Open to everyone, our innovation spaces are great places to get together, brainstorm, have lively discussions, and develop disruptive ideas. For our global “Next Normal Office Concept” all employees were involved helping shape our future way of working in a new office landscape resulting in a comprehensive and impressive package reflecting the changed demands and expectations after the Corona pandemic. However, there is no off-the-shelf solution, but rather locally adapted implementations according to the requirements in each country.

Leadership means responsibility with a purpose

To promote your personal and professional growth, we encourage you to make the most of our open feedback culture and exchange feedback with team members, peers, and leaders. We support reverse mentoring and continuous learning. Leadership at Bayer emphasizes leading with purpose – to inspire, influence and guide people in a way that helps them reach milestones together. That includes listening to team needs, facilitating team efforts, and communicating ideas, goals and expectations with clarity. To help you take on responsibilities in a leadership role and be the best version of yourself, you have access to coaching, training, and leadership academies.
