Employee Health Promotion

What began more than a decade ago as a pilot program in two locations, has now developed into a global plan for Motorola. The business’s Employee Health Promotion is run by the Global Rewards group consisting of more than 50 employees and funded by an annual grant. Programs are consistently assessed on their ability to deliver a positive return on investment and benefit the collective Motorola community. central, the program reaches more than 30,000 employees, family members and retirees. Employee Health Promotion Features:

• The business provides no cost membership for active employees to Wellness Centers located at 8 U.S. sites (retirees pay a small fee).

• In 2003, the business provided flu immunizations to more than 11,000 employees, dependents and retirees at 70 on-Site locations.
• Motorola holds hundreds of health education classes each year for employees.
