Health, Safety, & Wellness
We consider health, safety and wellness to be a significant part of a sustainable workplace.
As we worked to maximize efficiencies during 2011, individuals in a few business groups experienced the unintended consequence of increased strain, leading to an increase in repetitive stress injuries. Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) staff noticed early trends and local management responded quickly to mitigate the issues. Working together, a plan was implemented for affected groups to improve employee health awareness and provide ergonomic solutions. Not only did this address the immediate health issues, it also helped the groups to optimize their business performance.
For a description of IIR and DART, please see our data notes.
We are rebranding our health and wellness program to make it more user-friendly and to increase the use of its services by employees. health@work is focused on providing what employees need to stay healthy, creative and productive. This translates to key initiatives including access to convenient care for minor illnesses and travel health. Also, our new health kiosk provides all shifts 24/7 access to self-monitoring equipment and resources to empower employees to optimize their health, or get and stay healthy, so they can be at their best at work and home.
