38 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Recognizing that early intervention is critical for good ergonomic health and the prevention of injuries, in 2021, we piloted a proactive employee concierge program called Ergo+, which provides employees with one-on-one advice and proactive ergonomic assessments to help address both remote and in-office setups. Ergo+ includes an easy online tool for employees to sign up for initial consultations and follow-up assessments. The pilot resulted in an increase in employee reporting of intermittent discomfort or concerns, and 90% of those surveyed reported that they would recommend the program to a friend. We plan to expand the program globally in 2022. We also continued to expand our year-round multimedia Safety Always employee awareness campaign. In 2021, we organized our first virtual global safety week, which included multiple, well-received internal and external speakers. The cam - paign also included regular, widely read employee communications on topics such as reporting, ergonomics, and situational safety. Intel ended 2021 with an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable rate of 0.93 per 100 employees, compared to the most recently published US semiconductor industry average recordable rate of 0.70 in 2020. 1 Our days away case rate 2 was 0.2 in 2021, compared to the semiconductor industry average of 0.2 in 2020. Ergonomic-related or cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) remained the most prevalent type of injury experienced at Intel in 2021, accounting for 65% of all reports, followed by strains/sprains. Office ergonomic injuries (predominantly from employees working from home) and COVID-19 cases accounted for the Intel recordable rate increase we observed in 2021 compared to 2020. We had one employee fatality in 2021. There were 31 high-consequence injuries during 2021, with 32% CTD injuries and 32% strain/sprain injuries. We have integrated learnings into our 2022 ergonomics program's early intervention focus plans. In 2021, we expanded the Intel® Vitality program—previously available to employees in the US, United Kingdom, and Vietnam—to Malaysia and Poland. The program focuses on four pillars of wellness: mindset, nutrition, movement, and recovery. Throughout the year, we continued to offer all of our wellness programming virtually, but in some locations, we were also able to bring back in-person wellness services. In 2021, we offered 19,552 virtual Intel Vitality sessions, with a total of 74,810 participants, including 19,320 unique individuals. Participants reported a 95% satisfaction rating with the program. We also continued our global employee access to Headspace , a mindfulness application. Over the course of the year, 18,506 employees used Headspace an average of four sessions per week. Recognizing Safety Achievement Through our Safety Always-Safety Star program, we are proud to recognize employees who exemplify our safety value every day in all they do. Each Safety Star is passionate about main - taining our strong safety culture, serves as a role model, and goes above and beyond to make Intel a safe place. During Global Safety Day in April, the honorees were recognized individually or as part of a team, selected from 124 individual and team nominations received globally. Winners contributed to office ergonomic support, developed safety management processes, addressed site safety, helped mitigate the impact of COVID-19, and provided safety coaching and communications. 1 Source Bureau of Labor Statistics. 2020 indicators are available at https://www.bls.gov/web/osh/ summ1_00.htm . 2 Days away begins the day after the accident.
