DESCRIPTION:

Building the world’s best team starts with caring for our employees and putting their welfare at the heart of all we do.

We offer a world-class portfolio of employee benefits and wellness programs, care for our employees through life events, support their diverse personal needs, and offer all our benefits to employees, spouses, domestic partners, and dependents.

Workplace Genomics Program

Through our partner, Genome Medical, we provide access to genetic experts who can provide guidance and facilitate testing for employees and their families. In addition, we offer financial support for cancer tests, reproductive health tests, and clinical wholegenome sequencing (cWGS) for rare and undiagnosed diseases.

Reproductive Health Benefits

Employees, their spouses, and domestic partners may be eligible for company sponsored reproductive health financial support, including: 

• In vitro fertilization (IVF)
• Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Through Progyny, we offer a comprehensive fertility benefit program that provides coverage for fertility preservation, providing equitable access to care for all of our diverse employees, including those pursuing non-traditional paths to parenthood.

Parental Leave

Following the birth of a child or placement of a child for adoption or foster care, we provide 100% pay continuity to eligible US-based employees for up to six weeks to help ensure peace of mind during this essential time. Our parental leave policies in the other locations where we operate either meet or exceed local legal entitlements.
