Grünenthal is dedicated to fostering a workplace that empowers employees to thrive both professionally and personally. The company strives to establish itself as an employer of choice while prioritising fairness, transparency and employee wellbeing.

Maintaining and improving mental and physical health is essential for everyone. We provide employees with regular training and services to support physical, psychological and social health. We also have doctors and nurses present on several of our manufacturing sites. We help working parents to balance family life with their career by providing company childcare facilities at our headquarters, as well as other childcare services across sites worldwide.
We have the clear ambition of reaching zero accidents at work. This requires safe framework conditions and behaviour. At our manufacturing sites, for example, employees spend time every month observing the safety behaviour of their colleagues and providing constructive feedback. We analyse each accident and share the findings with the other sites worldwide. In this way, a wide range of initiatives at Grünenthal aim to eliminate workplace accidents.
Every employee at Grünenthal is considered a talent, and the company actively promotes growth and development for all team members.
Leaders work closely with their teams to create tailored Personal Development Plans (PDPs) and regularly review performance and career progression, covering 100% of Grünenthal employees. The company invests in its people by providing learning opportunities, such as additional responsibilities, training, and mentoring programmes. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their development, discuss aspirations and identify areas for improvement with their managers.
Grünenthal’s Diversity & Engagement Strategy aims for all employees to feel valued, respected, included and empowered to do their best, bring great ideas to the table and develop their full potential.
At Grünenthal, employees benefit from a culture of inclusion supported by programmes such as leadership workshops, mentoring schemes, and partnerships with external initiatives like ‘Mujeres en Farma’ in Spain, to promote female leadership in the pharmaceutical industry. These efforts have been recognised with awards for diversity and inclusion, further strengthening Grünenthal’s position as an attractive and equitable employer.
