Goals and Progress
Employees | Health care benefits
We believe that providing access to health care benefits is vital to having, and keeping, satisfied employees.
We offer competitive health care benefits, including medical, dental and vision, to all full-time employees in the U.S. We also offer National Health Access to full- or part-time employees. This program offers access to a variety of health care options, ranging from discounts on medical and health costs to major medical insurance.
Internationally, we align employee needs with the health care and wellness options available in each country to ensure we’re providing a comprehensive benefits package.
In 2006, we conducted an extensive review of our health care programs to find the right balance between employee benefits and managing our expenses.
As a result, in 2007 we introduced Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs), which are designed to encourage our employees to take an active role in their health and wellness. The goal: to emphasize wellness and catch any problems early on, while still providing protection in the event of an illness or accident. HRA accounts are funded by the company, with employees having the ability to roll over unused account dollars from year to year.
As a company, we believe in the equality of all people, and we provide equal benefits for our gay and lesbian employees. We also provide comprehensive health and wellness benefits to both same-sex and opposite-sex domestic partners.
