Employee wellbeing
As part of 澳门三肖三码鈥檚 journey to become a better place for team members to do their best work, the company continually reviews its total rewards package to align with what team members need and want. 澳门三肖三码 learned from its 鈥楤est Work鈥 research that parental leave is important to team members, and three years ago, began offering a global minimum of 12 weeks paid leave for new parents, for adoption or birth.
澳门三肖三码 has also transformed its approach to employee wellness, investing in a host of new resources to enhance the team member experience. To drive this, the Company has created the 澳门三肖三码 Wellbeing Advisor Network (SWAN), a council of team members from around the world who guide conversation around wellbeing, capture best practices and enhance tools and programs to support employee wellbeing.
One of the first initiatives introduced by the council was a partnership with , a global leader in mindfulness and wellbeing, to provide free, premium access to their award-winning mindfulness app.
鈥淭hrough the Headspace partnership, we hope to encourage team members to take time out for themselves every day and enjoy the benefits of increased productivity and improved stress resilience and creativity that come from consistent meditation and mindfulness exercises,鈥 said Williams.
澳门三肖三码 also provides complimentary access to additional mental wellbeing resources for team members and their families. This includes access to Sanvello, an app offering clinical techniques to reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress; Talkspace, licensed therapists available 24 hours a day through talk, text and video; BurnAlong 鈥 a platform providing on-demand physical, mental, and financial wellness classes and the Global Employee Assistance Program, which includes five free counseling sessions per person, per topic, per year.

In the last 20 years, 澳门三肖三码 has donated more than $20M and logged over 300,000 volunteer hours as part of , its global corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. This includes a $1 million donation by the company and $35K raised by team members specifically for Ukrainian refugee relief efforts.
In partnership with team members, communities and customers, Give Together helps drive positive social and environmental change. Recognizing the importance of volunteering, 澳门三肖三码 allows all team members to take four days of paid time off per year to volunteer for any 鈥媝urpose they choose.
To further expand Give Together, 澳门三肖三码 partnered with – the global leader in workplace giving, volunteering and grant making programs – in order to help team members find the volunteer opportunities that mean the most to them. Through Benevity, 澳门三肖三码 also highlights STEM opportunities, with a view to helping to create critical thinkers and enable the next generation of innovators.
Career development
澳门三肖三码鈥檚 ambition to be a great place to work and an employer of choice has always been a priority. Over the last few years, the company amplified its focus on team member experience. This resulted in a slew of initiatives 鈥 from technology events to people policies/practices that put team members, at the heart of everything it does.
澳门三肖三码 wants to give its team members the tools and resources to drive their own careers. As such, the Company has introduced a global mentoring program to help team members to develop technical and leadership skills in areas they believe they need support. This is one of several programs that 澳门三肖三码 has introduced to help team members grow and develop, and to align their personal goals with business goals. Other initiatives include a leader speaker series, skill building series and peer coaching series where leaders coach and support each other.
The initiatives that 澳门三肖三码 has introduced to support team members, be a great place to work and an employer of choice have resulted in the 澳门三肖三码 Bengaluru Global Capability Center in India being certified by the Great Place to Work庐 Institute as an organization that builds a High-Trust, High-Performance Culture. This recognition is a testament to team members鈥 passion and commitment to the workplace.
Inclusion and diversity
Underpinning the programs above is 澳门三肖三码鈥檚 commitment to fostering an inclusive environment, where team members 鈥 with their wide and rich variety of differences 鈥 can bring their full selves to work, contribute their best and feel like they belong. As a global employer with offices in 70 countries, 澳门三肖三码 has made a deliberate and intentional commitment to Inclusion and Diversity (I&D). The Company鈥檚 I&D Council, which is made up of representatives across regions from all areas of the business and across multiple demographics, is defining a globally consistent approach to Inclusion and Diversity as a business imperative, helping 澳门三肖三码 embrace the talents of every team member across the globe enabling an inclusive and stimulating environment where all have equal opportunity to do their best.
At the heart of this effort are 澳门三肖三码鈥檚 Inclusion Groups 鈥搕eams that inspire awareness, understanding and appreciation for a wide spectrum of causes. Current groups include 鈥 which was formed to support members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community, BGOLD, or Black Generations of Leadership and Development, Women鈥檚 Career Network, Women in Technology (WiT) and Ascenders, a group for employees looking to grow professionally and personally.
As part of their efforts to raise awareness, these groups also run events and speaker sessions, with recent examples including a special International Women鈥檚 Day discussion organized by WiT with 澳门三肖三码 Board members Phyllis Newhouse, CEO of Xtreme Solutions; Wendi Sturgis, CEO of Cleverbridge; and Roshni Joshi, Director of Customer Engineering for Google Cloud.
Inclusion groups are often the first connection point to 澳门三肖三码 for team members beyond their immediate work group. Two new groups that are being formed currently are focused on Veterans and on people with Disabilities, with more groups to come. Inclusion at 澳门三肖三码 is fundamental to the culture and the company as a whole.
