HEALTH MANAGEMENT

We encourage our employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle and offer programs and initiatives to support their efforts. Workplace health promotion activities include: influenza vaccination, employee health fairs (blood pressure testing, nutritional advice), local deskdrop initiatives and presentations covering such topics as stress management, office ergonomics and nutrition. We provide comprehensive health, safety and personal security guidance to our employees traveling overseas.

Pandemic Influenza Planning

A companywide Pandemic Influenza Task Force has been developing contingency plans consistent with the World Health Organization planning efforts. The committee is using information from organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Department of Homeland Security and SOS International to anticipate and manage the impacts of a potential pandemic.
