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 have 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.

Our Community

Community Support Initiatives

• Workplace Giving: We emphasize the value of giving back by matching charitable contributions up to USD 1,000 per employee via our Workplace Giving program. We enable employees to choose the causes that matter most to them, and financially support those endeavors.
• Community Building: We provide opportunities for employees to connect through events and team building activities.
