Our Benefits
Solving the world’s most pressing challenges requires grit, determination and a mind that can think beyond a job description. Employees who bring that – along with a collaborative, humble nature – can expect a culture that helps them make time for what is important outside of work, and to be rewarded for approaching every problem and opportunity with curiosity underscored with integrity.
While benefits may differ by role or location, they’re all rooted in respect and appreciation for our employees and what they do.
Compensation and Retirement
Our Total Rewards team works hard to ensure our people’s humble, collaborative nature is seen and rewarded. We aim to provide highly competitive base salaries and grant an annual bonus and equity to those eligible. Worldwide, we provide various retirement savings plans according to local conditions. In the U.S., we offer a 401(K) Plan.
Health and Wellbeing
The physical and mental wellbeing of our people is critical to us. We offer comprehensive health insurance plans, including medical, dental and vision coverage; company-paid life insurance including short-term and long-term disability.
As an animal health company, we love your love of animals, and that’s why we offer pet insurance for your four-legged friends.
Paid Time Off
We want you to make time for what is important to you outside of work, and offer generous paid time off, varying by country, to help you recharge.
In the U.S., this includes two paid shutdown weeks mid-year and at year-end, plus standard holidays and generous parental leave.
Flexible Ways of Working
Our new global headquarters represents a workplace destination to serve as an epicenter for animal health. We embrace a forward-thinking approach to flexible work arrangements, recognizing the diverse needs of our employees. While offering adaptable schedules and remote work options, togetherness fuels our community, and our teams value the time we spend together in the office.
Your Professional and Personal Development Journey
Employee development is a key part of our global talent management strategy. As the company grows, so do you. We welcome new U.S.-based employees with a comprehensive onboarding curriculum. This process lays the foundation for successful integration into the company and builds functional understanding while providing opportunities for relationship building, personal enrichment and community volunteerism.
Your growth doesn’t stop after onboarding. We offer opportunities to develop your leadership skills that meet you where you are. With an extensive library of courses, customized offerings aligned to the business, and programs designed to prepare you for your next role, your development journey is yours to shape. Whether you’re looking for universal training, role-specific learning, or self-paced content to build new skills, we have the resources to support your success.
Employees also have access to nine employee resource groups, formal mentorship programs, and employee assistance programs - each designed to support your professional and personal growth.
Our Leadership Programs
We invest in our leaders today – and those of tomorrow. Our comprehensive leadership development programs equip leaders with the strategy and skills to build and lead high-performing teams and form a strong network throughout our global organization.
Diana Gonzalez
Senior Director Pet Health Commercial Operations
"The ELP program provided me with excellent training on topics that are relevant and impactful, such as: strategies to influence others, having crucial conversations, working in a diverse team, and leadership styles. The program also brought some of our company’s top leaders to serve as mentors during the training. Learning about their career paths and leadership styles was a great opportunity. I highly recommend this program!"
Melissa Wallis
Customer Excellence Manager
"There are many opportunities at Elanco for professional development and career growth. I’ve been fortunate to take on a secondment role in a different functional area, which gave me great experience and was the stepping stone into my current management role. I’ve also participated in Elanco’s Women in Leadership Program, where I’ve expanded my knowledge in areas such as business acumen and building trust as a leader."
Bruno H. Rabelo Dias
Senior Director Marketing
"ALDP was on my wish list since I started at Elanco 7 years ago. Once I got the invite, the excitement to be a part of it was huge. When the program started I realized why it is a game changer in our leadership skills. ALDP is not only a large learning opportunity for key skills to be a great leader, but also a unique moment to network and share challenges in a safe environment with other strong leaders. ALDP has given me knowledge and a network to help me tackle a variety of challenges."
Work Environment
From headquarters to our global production sites, we offer a range of resources for optimal working conditions. In addition to ergonomic office equipment and relaxation areas, our facilities often provide on-site gyms or cafeterias.
Sometimes your pet is your favorite coworker. Whether you work from home or in an office, having pets around helps reduce stress and promotes a strong work culture. Our global headquarters and many other offices around the world are pet friendly.
