SUPPORT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Many of our employees are on the frontlines playing a critical role in helping to ensure healthcare supplies and medicines are available for healthcare workers and patients who need them. We have undertaken multiple measures to promote safety in our facilities, including placing hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes throughout the workplace; reinforcing the practice of social distancing in our distribution centers; making face masks available to essential onsite employees and instituting a global mandatory work from home policy for those employees who are able to perform their work responsibilities remotely. We also offered additional support for employees during the pandemic. We covered certain healthcare costs associated with COVID-19 free of charge for employees enrolled in our health plans. We also offered free virtual telehealth care visits, which included telephonic mental health visits. Additionally, we provided employees four hours of time off to get the vaccine as well as Vitality Points on our wellness program. Union/collective bargaining We are committed to respecting the rights of all McKesson employees. Labor laws and practices vary among the countries where we do business, and we are committed to following all applicable labor laws and regulations in those countries, including those governing labor-management relationships. Advancing employee wellbeing We offer a wide range of programs to support the physical, mental, financial and social wellbeing of our employees and their families. Programs and benefits vary by region and employee status, and can include medical, dental, vision, life, prescription drug and other insurance coverage, as well as retirement savings programs. Vitality At McKesson, we value the connection between an employee’s health and wellbeing and their ability to do their best work. Several years ago, this connection inspired us to launch a partnership with Vitality, a voluntary wellness program that rewards eligible employees for taking steps to maintain or improve their total wellbeing. Employees can earn points for completing a variety of health-related activities that can be tracked and measured in categories such as prevention, physical activity, financial health, healthy mind, online education and philanthropy. Employees can also save up to $3,000 a year for completing healthy activities on the Vitality platform. In addition to savings on medical premiums, employees are also eligible for an annual rebate of up to $275 toward gym membership fees, an annual weight loss rebate of up to $200 for program fees and associated medicines, and free fitness devices. Wellbeing programs McKesson’s holistic wellbeing program provides a wide range of resources to help employees manage the stresses of daily living such as: counseling and relationship support, work-life balance services, Talkspace, myStrength and senior care management. Our program also offers 24/7 access to tools and resources to help employees care for children with learning, social or behavioral challenges and developmental disabilities, and provides social and emotional learning support to help manage modern challenges at home and at school for all children. Scholarship program Established in 1988, the McKesson Foundation Scholarship Program offers college scholarships to dependents of McKesson employees. Students are selected based on outstanding academic achievement, community service, leadership and financial need, and scholarships are renewable for up to four years. In 2020, 30 new scholarships and 62 renewal scholarships were awarded, totaling $230,000.
