Best Buy Fiscal Year 2022 ESG Report | 33 At Best Buy, we want to help employees live a happy, healthy, and productive life — at work, and at home with those who matter most. We invest in a wide array of benefit choices to support employees and their loved ones with their overall well-being: physical, mental, financial and work-life balance. We believe that creating a culture of holistic well- being will make Best Buy a great place to work and drive business results. Meaningful moments. We expanded our benefits to offer greater support to employees and their families in true moments of need, establishing the following programs: • Paid leave: We provide up to six weeks of pay at 100% during a qualifying leave of absence, ensuring predictable pay for employees in need. When combined with Caregiver Pay, qualifying employees can receive up to 10 weeks at 100% pay for maternity leave. • Caregiver support: All full-time and part-time employees have access to Wellthy, a caregiver support program that offers personalized help with issues ranging from emergency housing and health care to substance abuse, elder care, and many other moments of crisis or complexity. • HOPE Fund: In partnership with the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, we created the HOPE Fund — Helping Our People in Emergencies — which provides employees in hardship situations an opportunity to apply for up to $2,500 in financial assistance. We also mobilized a Well-being Ambassador network of over 900 employee volunteers who are enthusiastically becoming our “boots on the ground” in locations across the U.S. to promote benefit programs, give us input on what’s working and help navigate employees to the right resources.
