To this end, in conjunction with the above-mentioned approaches to organization and health-safety in the workplace, programs to promote well-being at work are coordinated Group-wide and deployed locally depending on each site’s specific needs. Approach ❯ The Group’s worldwide program called “Quality of Life at Work”, launched for the purpose of defining goals and a global strategy for improving quality of life in the workplace, continues to be developed at many sites. As part of this worldwide program, action plans have been defined and implemented locally based on past initiatives deployed in various countries. Through this program, BIC seeks to promote wellness at work in the interest of its team members and their engagement. In this way, the Group will help limit the effects of professional or personal stress on its teammembers’ health. This program promotes both short- and long-term initiatives and action plans based on a combination of reactive and preventive approaches. It includes a section dedicated to the “Role of Managers”. “Quality of Life at Work” also examines team members’ job responsibilities and the quality of their working environment. The efforts focus on four main areas: health and well-being: safety, physical exercise, nutrition; ● the manager’s role: stress management and prevention as ● well as the new skills required for team leaders; workspace and workstations: ergonomics, configuration of ● workspaces and common areas; team member services: to make everyday life easier and help ● teammembers deal with personal and professional difficulties. In each of the four above-mentioned fields, new initiatives have been undertaken and the programs developed over the past several years in various countries are being continued. The most significant programs are described below. Progress made in 2019: health and well-being ❯ Prevention/awareness campaigns in all of the Group’s geographic zones Prevention, screening and awareness campaigns are carried out in all of the countries where BIC has operations: in South Africa, the program to combat HIV/AIDS has ● continued every year since it was launched in 2000, including a dedicated dispensary and educators, coverage of treatments for seropositive team members who request it, vaccination against hepatitis B, and the hosting of a presentation each year on World AIDS Day. The dispensary continues to provide primary health care and screening for all of the site’s team members; in Argentina, 64% of all BIC team members participated in ● screening operations. In all, 34% of the team members in Argentina and Uruguay received flu vaccinations;
