Health and wellness ExxonMobil cares about the health and well-being of our workforce and their families. Our health policy communicates the corporate expectations for identifying and evaluating health risks related to our operations that can potentially affect our employees, contractors or the public. We seek to address the diverse health considerations prevalent in the different locations in which we work by creating effective and efficient solutions that protect our workforce and operations from major health threats. We also provide voluntary health programs to our employees that are designed to promote enhanced well-being and productivity. To ensure our occupational health risks are credibly assessed, prioritized and documented, we utilize an exposure assessment strategy to identify and evaluate health risks related to our operations, as identified by OIMS. Health hazard exposure assessments for field work activities are conducted by our industrial hygiene professionals using a comprehensive global approach that not only identifies and evaluates health hazards, but also provides for risk-based prioritization. To protect our workers and their families while preventing potential operation disruptions, ExxonMobil developed prevention, control and monitoring programs that address the threat of infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, Ebola and other outbreaks. For example, our Malaria Control Program is designed to prevent and quickly manage malaria cases among employees and contractors working in or traveling to malaria-prone areas. Since 2007, no malaria-related deaths among ExxonMobil workers have been reported. In addition, no operational disruptions due to an infectious disease outbreak have been reported in company workplaces since 2010. For information about our efforts to eliminate malaria in the communities where we operate, see page 66. Leveraging our ongoing efforts to combat infectious diseases enabled us to swiftly mobilize to help communities address the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa, which took a toll on the region and resulted in more than 11,000 deaths from 2014 to 2015. During that time, ExxonMobil worked to ensure the safety of our employees and contractors in the region, none of whom were directly impacted by the virus.
In total, ExxonMobil contributed more than $670,000 to Ebola-related community health investments.
Employment practices and policies As a global organization, the diversity and inclusion of thought, skill, knowledge and culture across our company facilitates innovation and is a key competitive advantage. Through a range of programs, activities and investments, we strive to create and maintain a diverse workforce representative of the numerous geographies where we do business. Our Global Diversity Framework is the foundation for this approach, with three interrelated objectives: • Attract, develop and retain a premier workforce from the broadest possible pool to meet our business needs worldwide. • Actively foster a productive work environment that allows every employee to contribute fully to the achievement of superior business results — an environment where individual and cultural differences are respected and valued, and where all employees are encouraged to achieve their ultimate potential.
ExxonMobil’s Culture of Health is our U.S.-based health and wellness program, which is designed to support the health of our employees and reduce health care costs. We provide collaborative health education, nutrition and fitness programs that are formatted to meet the needs of a variety of work environments such as offices and manufacturing sites. Additionally, we offer employees health coaching and disease management. Supporting a culture of health outside the United States is also a priority. Our Culture of Health pilot programs in Argentina, Malaysia, Nigeria and the United Kingdom moved into sustainment phase at the end of 2015. In each country, we develop programs within the context of different health care systems, health needs and available resources. We offer benefits plans that comply with or exceed applicable country laws or regulations. In recent years, ExxonMobil has taken a leadership role in minimizing and mitigating worker fatigue, which has the potential to impact the health and safety of our workforce. Studies show that, in addition to being safer, individuals who are rested and alert are less likely to experience personal health issues including cardiovascular, immune and psychosocial conditions. Because of this, we have implemented relevant programs at a variety of our sites, including refineries, chemical plants and pipeline operations in the United States, as well as some of our Upstream facilities in Canada. Additionally, we have started integrating personal fatigue management into our Culture of Health programs. Workforce We consider our approximately 73,500 employees to be our greatest asset. For this reason, ExxonMobil seeks to foster a diverse workforce of highly talented individuals who are dedicated to integrity, high-quality work and good corporate citizenship. Our career-oriented approach to developing an exceptional workforce includes recruiting outstanding talent and supporting long-term professional development.
• Identify and develop leadership capabilities for performing effectively in a variety of international and cultural environments.
