03

Expand employee development offerings that have a positive impact on job performance 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Balancing work and life

In the U.S., 25% of women have to go back to work in just two weeks after childbirth[1], often at a detriment to their babies’ long-term well-being and also their own. Studies show that providing longer parental leave contributes to fewer low-birth-weight babies, fewer infant deaths, higher rates of breastfeeding, longer parental lifespan and improved mental health, as well as increased long-term achievement for children.[2]

Thanks in large part to the efforts of the DuPont Women’s Network, DuPont’s recently updated New-Parent Leave policy makes it easier for new moms and dads to give these important moments the attention they need and deserve. Key features include four weeks paid leave for all new parents, including non-birthing and adoptive parents, and twelve additional paid weeks of maternity leave for birth mothers.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In 2020, DuPont’s IHS team will conduct a company-wide cultural audit looking at the variety and nutritional content of on-site food options in our workplaces, the availability of resources for physical activity, and the support options for those impacted by mental health or substance abuse challenges. Once a baseline is established, the team will engage with site managers and facility leaders to set and meet priorities for improvement. We’ll use this information to develop a DuPont Healthy Food policy with new minimum standards for sourcing healthy cafeteria and catering offerings, food labeling and packaging standards, and more.

 
 
 
 
 
 

In the six months after the survey, we created over 2,900 action plans to address employee feedback. The plans focus on things like providing structured career development programs, creating online continuous learning tools, improving customer engagement processes, expanding new employee training, and more.

 

The action plans were tailored to each business, function and region.

We repeated the survey in 2019 with the intention of understanding how we had improved since the prior year, and to advance our ongoing action-planning process.

 
 
 

DuPont remains committed to medical privacy and security. We have rigorous systems and checks in place and use up-to-date medical recordkeeping technology, methodologies, and governance so that our employees’ medical records stay confidential and secure. At the same time, we’re working to make it easy for employees to meaningfully interact with their own health information, because that’s one of the best ways to make informed decisions about our healthcare and behaviors.
