WELLNESS AND EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM In 2019, the Company implemented an Employee Assistance Program to help employees deal with challenges and prepare them to be more effective and perform better at work and in life in general. Through this Program, employees and their families can access practical information and advice on a broad range of topics, from financial advice to addiction. Information can be provided over the phone or via meetings arranged at the employee’s convenience. The support is provided by Workplace Options, an independent company specializing in the provision of wellness offerings and employee assistance programs. In France, the program is managed by its French subsidiary Réhalto, and in the United States and Canada by Cigna. Employees can benefit from six free consulting sessions per subject and per year. For several years, the Quadient Wellness Program in the United States received the Platinum award from the Fairfield business Council in Connecticut as a Healthy Workplace. This program provides many resources and activities to help employees live healthier lives including wellness, health, and fitness seminars, webinars, and mental and physical challenges. In 2021, Quadient’s U.S. operations have also once again received a Gold award from the American Heart Association as a Heart Healthy Workplace.
