People: Health and Safety

The health of our employees and their families is very important to us. The robust benefits that all employees enjoy reflect this belief.

Our programs focus on prevention—we offer 100 percent coverage for preventive care in one of our U.S. health care options, and we actively encourage our employees to pursue healthy lifestyles, thereby enhancing their own wellbeing and workplace productivity. Outside the U.S. our sites implement their own programs based on availability of services and regulation.

We recognize that employees are most productive when they are healthy and stress free. Our workplace wellness programs encourage employees to be active, make healthy choices and take preventative measures. Examples include:

• Smoking cessation programs
• Weight loss and exercise programs
• Chair massages in the office
• Skin health checkups (in the U.K.)
• Flu vaccinations (in the U.S.)
• Mammograms and HPV vaccinations
• Employee wellness programs (Singapore)

McGraw-Hill fosters a culture that strives for the safest working conditions. We maintain the highest possible safety standards globally and comply with local health and safety requirements. Our businesses do not involve heavy manufacturing or other activities that place employees at great personal risk. Therefore, we deal with very minimal on-the-job injuries. We do, however, actively encourage our employees to avoid repeated stress injuries and provide extensive information on the subject, not to mention ergonomically correct office equipment.
