ConocoPhillips believes in the importance of a healthy
workforce and the benefits that good health can have
on work, family and the company.We encourage
employees to be healthy through preventive
medical care, regular exercise and good nutrition.
This impacts worker productivity and also can
help to reduce health care costs for employer
and employee alike.
For example in 2007, we updated our U.S. health
insurance benefits and wellness programs to include
Your Life Choices, an online tool that provides a
health-risk appraisal and individual recommendations for
preventive health care, physical fitness and positive lifestyle
choices. After completing the health assessment, the program
may suggest one or more of the voluntary, online, six-week
programs, offering employees strategies for developing and/or
maintaining good health habits.
Health awareness events, exercise programs and competitive
events at many locations serve to better integrate the
relationship between fitness and good health.
In China, for example, the company hosted its first health fair
at its Beijing office in 2006. The fair attracted about 200 people
– including employees, contractors and family members – who
were offered health checks and guidance on a healthier, more
balanced lifestyle. Alongside the health promotion, competitions
and games were arranged for children.
Our North Sea Business Unit holds an annual Health Challenge
to encourage healthy eating and regular exercise. Threequarters
of the workforce took part in the 2006 challenge as
members of four-to-eight person teams. An $18,600 company
donation on behalf of the winning team was made to the team’s
charity of choice, the Salvation Army in Stavanger, Norway.
In 2006, our U.K. marketing headquarters in Warwick,
England, was recognized for its work-life policies in the
Warwickshire Employer of Choice awards. According to
the judges, Warwick-based employees benefit from “an
exceptional working environment where trust and flexibility
work together to create a dynamic organization.” The judges
also were impressed by the flexible working hours, enhanced
maternity provision, benefits package and opportunities for
personal and career development.
