Similar approaches adapted to meet employee expectations exist almost everywhere in Europe;
1. the Healthy Living Wellness Program, set up and run by Re:Sources is now operational in all agencies, offering employees and their families comprehensive health cover and other services.

3. the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which has been in place for some years now, offers employees online preventive healthcare support that is highly individualized and confidential.

4. Bright Horizons Back Up Care Program, is a system that enables families to better address the challenges of finding a balance between their professional and personal lives.

As employers, individual agencies support local and/or national screening initiatives and disease-specific or health warning campaigns (e.g. flu vaccination). Preventative health measures are occasionally subject to specific conditions in countries with collective or occupational agreements. All employees in these countries benefit from these collective or occupational agreements where such agreements exist. Based on the local health situation, agencies decide whether to promote screening campaigns for chronic pathologies (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, etc.) in addition to traditional and annual schemes.
99% of employees (full and part-time permanent and temporary contracts) are covered by medical cover (social security or health insurance), irrespective of local social security provisions (government, government-company-employee or private company-employee contribution plans or self-funded).
These covers factor in serious or chronic illnesses to enable employees to be properly cared for, and to receive appropriate follow-up. In several of the Group’s regional markets, including the United States, Europe and India, employees can benefit from health insurance programs for themselves and their families. The workplace accident rate(1) was 0.33%. The main causes of workplace accidents were related to transportation (home-work commuting and work-related travel). The accident frequency was 1.80.
