In the event of illness or injury, we offer generous leave policies to help associates recover and return to health as smoothly as possible

Healthy Choices, Healthy You

In the United States, Terumo BCT continues to build and cultivate its wellness program, branded "Healthy Choices, Healthy You." The program is based on three pillars of health: emotional, physical and financial. The program continues to evolve to meet the needs of associates and their families, and is designed to help associates look at their lifestyle habits and make modifications to improve their quality of life. Targeting modifiable behaviors helps associates change habits and, in the long term, can prevent chronic health conditions. Key components of our wellness program include:

Biometric screenings and other health assessments
Online wellness portal where associates and spouses receive points for completing health screenings and challenges
Mapped running, cycling and walking paths around the campus
Two full-time on-site registered nurses, a full-time fitness center manager and a part-time wellness coach
Monthly well-being themes and Knowledge Series

Highlights of our 2017 wellness program include:

76 percent utilization of Fitness Center in 2017 (3 percent Increase from 2016) Over 200 personal training sessions in 2017
271 associates participated in 14 Knowledge Series in 2017 (17 percent increase in associate attendance over 2016)
1,022 associates participated in incentive challenges/programs, including almost 400 global associates
Added wellness coaching as a requirement for associates to receive the wellness discount for health benefits
926 wellness coaching appointments discussing physical, emotional and financial wellbeing

Each year, we host wellness challenges, a friendly competition for bragging rights and fun prizes among associates. In 2017, the Global Relay Challenge had 616 associate participants from 1 countries, Measure Your Muscles had 105 participants and the Body Composition and Flexibility Screening had 83 participants.

As an incentive, associates who participate in wellness activities and get regular medical, dental and vision screenings receive points through our Wellness Rewards Portal which can be redeemed for gift cards. In 2017, we saw a 71 percent increase in orders placed through the portal.

Our commitment to healthy associates has earned Terumo BCT two top honors in 2017.

For the third year in a row, Terumo BCT has been recognized as one of 2017 100 Healthiest Employers in America in recognition of our associates' commitment to improving their health and taking advantage of our exceptional corporate wellness programming. We were ranked 22 out of 100 companies on the list.

In addition, for the first time, Terumo BCT has received the Gold Workplace Health Achievement recognition from the American Heart Association (AHA) for taking significant steps to build a culture of health in the workplace.

Mark Bishop, Senior Vice President, Associate & Organizational Effectiveness, said,

Terumo BCT has for many years invested in associate wellness programs. We do this because we firmly believe in the benefit to both the associate and the business' ability to provide products and solutions that improve lives. These two awards are recognition of our ongoing commitment to wellness as well as how our associates have embraced wellness in their own lives!
