Corporate Responsibility

We provide private health-care insurance for employees in 43 countries. We also have a U.S. high-deductible health plan with a health savings account, which offers low premiums and a tax-free way to build savings for future medical expenses.

Our incentive program in the U.S., the LIVESMART Challenge, allows employees to accumulate points when they use preventive health-care services and participate in wellness programs such as weight loss and smoking cessation. Employees can earn up to $200 after completing certain requirements in the areas of self-care, nutrition/weight management, exercise/stress management or health conditions.

We encourage employees to keep fit and have on-site fitness centers in Canada, India, Israel and the U.S. Motorola provides reimbursements for fitness center memberships in Denmark and the U.S. up to a value of $240.

We also encourage health and wellness through programs that vary by location, such as on-site medical clinics, wellness seminars, health coaching and recreational sports leagues. In the U.S., travel immunization now is available at many of our sites.

Motorola Assist, a business-travel assistance program, offers resources to help protect the health and safety of the company's international travelers.

Safety programs
Our safety programs aim to eliminate potential safety hazards before injuries and illnesses can occur.

Risks to our employees are identified through our hazard identification and inspection program, and we systematically track non-conformances to ensure that corrective actions are taken and root causes eliminated.

We conduct awareness programs and training so that employees can effectively deal with safety risks they may encounter in their work. All employees have the authority and obligation to stop work due to unsafe conditions or acts.

The following Motorola sites have earned the highest honor from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Safety Through Accountability and Recognition (STAR) award:

• Arlington Heights, Illinois, USA
• Schaumburg, Illinois, USA

This prestigious U.S. award recognizes sites demonstrating superior safety and health programs. Only two-hundredths of one percent of eligible sites in the U.S. have earned this award.

In 2008, our Reynosa, Mexico site began the process of qualifying for the Safe Industries certification that is awarded after meeting high safety and health standards as defined by the Mexico Secretariat of Labor. This certification mirrors the U.S. OSHA VPP program. This is a three-year process, and we aim to complete the first stage of certification in 2009.
