Boehringer Ingelheim Ranks First Place in ‘Best Place to Work in Africa' Recognition by the BPTW Certification Program

Boehringer Ingelheim, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, has ranked first amongst the top 15 best companies to work for in Africa by the prestigious ‘Best Places to Work’ certification program.

Based on the assessment of over 500 organizations operating across the continent, the program’s findings from this year demonstrated how well businesses across Africa have adapted to the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Boehringer Ingelheim Africa was honored for its leadership, inclusive culture, commitment to professional development, agility and sense of community as key reasons employees feel proud to work for the company.

 “Best Places to Work” is an ‘Employer of Choice’ certification that certifies and recognizes leading workplaces in many countries around the world with a rigorous assessment methodology and a framework which reflects the very latest in workplace trends focusing on eight workplace factors including leadership, HR and people policies, compensation, benefits, teamwork and relationships, employee engagement, workplace and procedures and corporate social responsibility. Their ranking is determined based on the 2020 feedback from employees gathered through anonymous surveys and an HR assessment evaluating the people management practices against outstanding workplace standards. Based on these results, that Boehringer Ingelheim Algeria have achieved earlier, Boehringer Ingelheim ranked first across the continent in this certification program in 2020.

Mohammed Al-Tawil, Country Managing Director and Head of Human Pharma at Boehringer Ingelheim Middle East, Turkey and Africa stated on the occasion, “We are immensely proud to have our operation recognized by a prestigious program such as the Best Place to Work for in Africa. The success of a company relies on the achievements of its people and we remain committed to keep supporting our teams on their journey to success by providing them with an environment that is conducive to growth.

We will continue to build upon the values that have earned us this honor, to ensure Boehringer Ingelheim remains the best place to work for in Africa.”

It aims to meet this, across its markets including Africa, through excellent HR policies and people practices, covering domains such as people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, well-being, diversity, inclusion and more. The family business invests heavily in individual development opportunities through tailor-made education and training programs for all employees.
