Retirement Provision
An important principle of our benefits and rewards approach is to link employees’ compensation to their performance, incentivizing personal growth and achievement. Regular benchmarking against global standards sets base salaries in line with the requirements of each position. Salaries are then supplemented by performance-related compensation and extensive additional benefits.

Bayer’s compensation packages are designed to meet the diverse needs of our global workforce and include elements like base salary, bonuses, long and short-term incentives, and benefits.
Importantly, we regularly check in with external benchmarks and internal measures to ensure people at our company are fairly compensated.

Because creating a family-friendly workplace is important to us, our employees can take advantage of benefits that allow them to lead productive working lives that are harmonious with the priorities of their families. In conjunction with their manager, Bayer UK employees can discuss a range of flexible working patterns to ensure that a successful work life balance can be achieved.

As an employee you can access the following health and wellbeing areas
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Online health & wellbeing advice

With more people living longer and pressure on government pension systems increasing, company retirement benefits such as ours offer good opportunities for individual optimization. Employees may customize their retirement benefits to allow them to accumulate more money for the future, purchase stock, and even convert a portion of their salary to entitle them to early retirement.
