Benefits

  • High Work-Life Balance

    Striking a healthy balance between work and personal life is important to us. It keeps us motivated and productive in the long term and thus contributes to our company's success. We support our employees in this aim: through flexible working time models, with care obligations towards dependents, assistance with child care and provision of services and facilities promoting fitness and health.

  • Paid Holiday

    With our paid holiday, we always have enough time to pursue our wanderlust. Whether we feel like visiting countries abroad or just exploring our homeland, there’s no reason to rush. From our balcony or the mountains to exotic beaches, with the amount of free time we can explore, relax, recharge our batteries and simply enjoy life wherever we are.

  • Flexible Working Time Models and Home Office.

    We give special priority to the needs of women and men who wish to devote more time to the family on a temporary basis and also to employees with care obligations towards dependents. Far beyond the legal requirements the BMW Group offers employees the possibility of working flexibly: e.g. the options range from working from home or flexitime days through non-working shifts.

  • Performance-Related and Above Average Pay.

    As performance is highly valued at the BMW Group, we offer our talents performance-related pay that far exceeds legal and collectively agreed requirements. And holiday pay makes every trip even more enjoyable, but that’s not all by far.

  • Employee Vehicle Programme.

    Discovering that unique go-kart feeling – or simply enjoying sheer driving pleasure: all our colleagues have the opportunity to drive their very own BMW or MINI on particularly attractive terms. This way, for many talents enjoying work already starts on the way to the office. With our vehicle configurator, we can create our dream car according to our own wishes and then buy it at an attractive discount – it’s also possible to finance or alternatively lease it. But that’s not all, as we can also benefit from special conditions on a wide range of used cars.

  • Health Management Programmes.

    We want to keep our talents in the best of health. We have our own company healthcare service, which includes preventative measures, stress management, nutritional advice and health training, such as a cardiac sports group.

We also provide medical screening, vaccinations as well as first-aid kits before business trips abroad and a lot more.
