Employee Health and Wellness

As a global food company, we believe it is important to encourage healthy behaviors among our employees. By fostering a culture of health, we can help employees experience a better quality of life and greater productivity – at work, at home and in the communities in which they live. And, employees who address health issues through early detection tend to get well faster and spend less on health care. Our wellness strategy includes a variety of programs that help employees achieve healthier lifestyles.

Our wellness program, branded Feeling Gr-r-reat™ in the United States, helps employees address health risks and boost physical activity. The program includes health screenings, health-risk assessments, health-coaching programs, exercise and weight-loss challenges, and free flu shots for employees and their spouses or domestic partners. Employee participation has increased steadily in recent years. In 2009, 61 percent of U.S. employees took part in Feeling Gr-r-reat™ health screenings.
