Does Bayer AG offer a stock option program to its employees?
To motivate and enhance their performance, Bayer allows its employees to benefit directly from the company’s success. We offer three different programs for defined participant groups. Eligibility for the different programs varies with an employees position in the company, since people at higher levels of management are considered to have a greater direct influence on the companys economic performance and thus on the performance of Bayer stock. Bayer therefore offers the stock program Aspire for members of the Board of Management, for other Group Executives (members of the Group Leadership Circles), and for other senior managers, and a Stock Participation Program for all other groups of employees.
