Our benefits
Our people are what make us remarkable. This is why we recognize our associates' contribution with attractive benefits.
What we offer our associates to work #LikeABosch
We enjoy our work, but we also enjoy the rewards. At Bosch, you‘ll receive an all-inclusive package of benefits that only a global employer can offer.
Financial benefits
“I don’t pay good wages because I have a lot of money; I have a lot of money because I pay good wages.” — Robert Bosch, 1931. With this in mind, we not only offer attractive salaries but also many other additional financial benefits.
Attractive remuneration
Every associate matters, so we offer an attractive base salary and regularly compare ourselves to the wider market. For every associate, we take into account your individual achievement, your specific role, and expertise. Our joint contribution to the company‘s success is recognised with corresponding bonuses based on the company performance; because top performers deserve top salaries.
Corporate discounts
Associates receive exclusive discounts on Bosch products and services. In addition, benefit portals are available in almost all countries, where associates can take advantage of attractive offers and greatly reduced prices from various shops.
Pension benefits
We also provide support with private and company pension schemes. For example, discounts are available for insurance policies such as health, life, dental and optical, as well as for insurance options from external providers. This makes it easy for associates to find the right insurance model for them and choose it based on their current situation.
Professional development
We have spent more than 130 years shaping new markets and technology. Just as we have learnt to change, grow and create, so can you — because development knows no boundaries.
Training
There’s plenty of support for your professional and personal development during work hours and a vast range of free and company-funded training courses available to everybody. Learning anytime, anywhere is supported with our free licences for online courses from world-renowned institutions. And the cherry on top: if necessary, we also offer financial support for your formal education.
Diverse careers
A wide range of roles, teams, and projects enable career development in various functional areas, locations, and countries. No matter which path you choose, we support you to achieve your career goals — for example with annual development dialogues and qualification programs.
Work-life balance
Everyone has their own focus in life. Whether it’s about new professional challenges, training and development, or more time for family, friends and hobbies. Whatever your goals are — we’re flexible. Let‘s strike a balance.
Smart Work
We know that good ideas can arise anywhere and, with our flexible working approach, you can work in a way that suits you, your project and your team. Even those with managerial responsibilities can make their work fit their life — not the other way around.
Smart Work at Bosch gives you flexibility. Your supervisor, your team and you decide together how to combine working in the office and remotely.
Working models
We offer you diverse, flexible and mobile working models like job sharing, flexible shift-models, part-time work, sabbatical, paid time off and many more — depending on your function & location.
Career and family
Work isn’t just about you; it’s about those you live with, love and look after. You can only take care of business if we help you take care of those around you.
Parents can work flexible hours, at many locations. We’ll also organise networking with other parents in the “family@bosch” forum. If you care for relatives, we offer both short and long-term solutions, e. g. part-time or in many countries also opportunities for paid leave.
Health and wellbeing
Your wellbeing is important to us; you matter. That’s why we offer various health-promoting initiatives and measures.
Culture, sport and leisure
Work takes a lot out of us. So, if you want to achieve a healthy balance, you need to put a lot back in. We have a range of nourishing and enjoyable classes, clubs and events to add a little inspiration, distraction and fun into your Bosch life.
Associate networks
Associates with similar and/or common interests and needs have the opportunity to share and support each other within associate networks — regardless of hierarchy levels. Bosch supports associates to get involved in promoting various areas in the company outside their direct working environment. Some examples for networks at Bosch: BestAger@Bosch, afric@Bosch, B:proud, assistants@Bosch, family@Bosch, for Bosch abroad, Software@Bosch, Turkish Forum Bosch, Be Adept, etc.
Health initiatives
Our health initiatives, developed in collaboration with leading specialists, cater to the specific needs of our associates around the globe. And most of them are free of charge! Our health-management program “befit”, covers physical and mental health; from workplace design through to return-to-work integration management. Tailored to our locations and regions, we offer lectures and courses on health-related topics, exercise offers, medical help and consulting services.
Mobility
Whether for the commute to work or for a longer stay abroad — we do everything to ensure that you are flexible and relaxed when travelling to Bosch locations.
International assignments
Our business is global, so we need a confident, global, outward-looking team. We’ve been successfully sending associates around the world for over 100 years with full-service support for you and your family, like ‘look and see’ trips, language study and intercultural training, personal support, onboarding and local mentoring.
Mobility and commuting
We support our associates in their daily commute — with a view to both reduce the time spent by associates on their daily commute and reduce CO₂ emissions. Depending on the Bosch location this can include daily shuttles to our sites, bike leasing, good public transport connections and a low-emission company car for executive level associates.
Smart Work Abroad
In terms of work flexibility, we go one step further with Smart Work Abroad. Within a defined framework, that has been checked for compliance with various legal requirements, Bosch offers you the opportunity to work remotely from another country for personal reasons. Depending on your job tasks and organizational aspects you have for example the option of working remotely from abroad in combination with vacation or visiting relatives and friends.
