We completed approximately 1,000 safety assessments each month companywide to help ensure the safety of our team members.
Health and Wellness
We recognize our team members perform best when they are healthy, and that optimal performance is necessary for us to achieve our Key Results. In addition to our health care benefits package, our Inspired Health program aims to cultivate and maintain a culture of health and wellness that is focused on encouraging and empowering team members to make healthy lifestyle choices through awareness, prevention and positive health behavior changes. This program includes biometric screenings, on-site fitness centers and fitness center discounts, an online health university with robust information and resources, a tobacco cessation program, wellness challenges, confidential health and wellness support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and more. Due to COVID-19, we were unable to provide biometric screenings in 2021; however, we offered an alternative to our team members to continue to promote health and wellness.
In addition, in 2020 we opened a state-of-the-art health center for our team members, close to our global headquarters and flagship production facility in Austin, Minn. In partnership with Premise Health, which operates the facility, the clinic improves access to high-quality, affordable health care for our team members and their dependent family members. The health center builds on the existing relationship between Hormel Foods and the renowned Mayo Clinic. With the dedicated health center and additional resources provided by Mayo Clinic, such as radiology and specialty service referrals for areas such as cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology and behavioral health, team members and their dependents have full access to care when they need it. In total, this health center serves several thousand eligible individuals on the company’s health plans, including team members, their dependents ages 2 and older, and retirees under the age of 65.
