Amgen believes that giving employees the resources and benefits to prioritize their own well-being helps ensure the company can honor its mission to serve patients with serious and life-threating medical needs. The company’s wellness offerings in the U.S. include onsite and virtual fitness and well-being programs, nutrition consultation services, health-conscious choices from its on-site cafés, and staff recognition for active wellness and well-being participation.
The AHA defined best practices for employers to build a culture of health for their employees in the workplace. The AHA Workplace Health Achievement Index measures the extent to which the company has implemented those workplace health best practices.
