Tyson Foods Launches New Health and Well-being Platform for U.S. Team Members
April 13 2023 - 6:55AM
As part of a new initiative designed to build a healthier
workforce, Tyson Foods, Inc. (NYSE: TSN) has introduced a special
digital tool to help its team members improve their health and
well-being.
Approximately 120,000 people employed by the company in the U.S.
now have access to a technology platform provided by Limeade, an
immersive employee well-being innovator. The platform, which is
available on a voluntary basis and can be accessed by computer or
through a mobile app, delivers personalized activities and
resources that support emotional, physical, financial and work
well-being.
The Limeade platform is the cornerstone of the new "Living Well
at Tyson Foods” initiative that infuses health and wellness into
the workplace. The app includes the designation of specified team
members as well-being champions across the company, monthly working
wellness webinars, and other programs.
“We started the ‘Living Well at Tyson Foods’ initiative because
we care about our team members and believe the Limeade platform
will enhance our efforts to promote a culture of well-being,” said
Dr. Claudia Coplein, chief medical officer, Tyson Foods. “Our
company’s success depends on our people and this initiative will
place well-being at the heart of the team member experience,
infusing health and wellness into the workplace.”
The Limeade platform operates in 19 languages and serves as a
centralized health benefits hub for team members. It includes
information on preventative health activities, connections to
internal Tyson Foods well-being programs and access to a library of
educational resources. Users can choose whether to engage in a
variety of activities through the platform, such as syncing the
platform to their personal fitness trackers, taking interactive
quizzes and connecting with other members through its social
capabilities.
The platform, along with access to full health care benefits on
day one of employment, is another example of Tyson Foods’ ongoing
commitment to the health and well-being of its team members. Others
include:
- Longer parental leave: Earlier this year, the company announced
it has invested more than $20 million to offer longer parental
leave, additional mental health support and other wellness and
health plan benefits at no additional cost to team members.
- Health centers: Tyson Foods continues to pilot seven health
centers that offer team members and their families easier access to
high-quality healthcare and, in most cases, at no cost.
- Prescription drug savings: In 2021, the company partnered with
Rx Savings Solutions to provide a free, confidential online tool
that gives team members and their covered dependents ways to pay
less for the medications covered through the company’s health
plan.
