To best serve the patients who depend on us, we must attract, retain and engage the industry’s brightest talent. This means, in part, offering benefits that are meaningful and relevant to our employees.
In 2019, we focused on expanding current programs and creating new offerings based on three distinct insights. First, employees are patients, too. High-quality, affordable medical benefits now reflect employees' diverse health care needs, including expanded wellness and mental health support. It's part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a standard level of health care for our employees in all countries where we work and live. Second, employees need flexibility for the moments that matter. We’ve adopted global leave policies for childbirth, adoption, caregiving and bereavement, and now, in the U.S., we offer the option for employees to purchase up to four weeks of extra vacation time each year. Finally, we recognize that employee benefit needs vary around the globe, so countries now have more flexibility to customize programs at the local market level.
“We’re a global health care company whose purpose is ‘Breakthroughs that change patients’ lives,’ so the health of our employees is a top priority as well,” says Steve First, Vice President, Global Benefits, Pfizer. “Thoughtful, comprehensive benefits are one way we can make sure our employees stay healthy and can bring their best selves to work every day in support of the millions of patients around the world who depend on us.”
