Human Capital and Social Initiatives

We strive to create a workplace that allows our employees to thrive within a healthy, engaged and empowered work environment that fosters the achievement of our company-wide objectives.

In support of our employees and their overall well-being, we recently added new benefits for our employees in the U.S, such as a new parental leave policy that increases paid leave time for same sex, opposite sex and domestic partnership couples; enhanced benefits related to childbearing and adoption for employees; childcare support through a third party provider; healthcare travel reimbursement; and leadership coaching and training for new managers globally.

We contribute to the communities in which we operate, and over the last few years have donated to many groups. Our contributions have included providing food and support for people affected by the Coronavirus, advancing Coronavirus medical solutions and supporting Ukrainian refugees.
