About Our Workplace Practices
surveyed 4,400 Johnson & Johnson
employees in the U.S. to understand the
value proposition for flexibility. We found
that 65 percent of respondents who
joined the Company in the previous three
years said flexibility was important in their
decision to take the job and 78 percent
of respondents said flexibility is an important
aspect when considering whether to
stay with the Company. In 2007, senior
management committed to increasing
opportunities for flexibility in recognition
that the sustainability of our business
depends on our ability to attract and
retain talented employees. Flexible
arrangements include telecommuting,
flextime hours, remote work, occasional
flexibility, a compressed work week,
summer hours and part-time work or
job sharing.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT
We have a long-standing commitment
to improve and sustain the health of our
workforce. Our Global Health Services
group works to optimize medical services
and the health and productivity of
employees worldwide through employee
assistance, occupational health programs,
health promotion and wellness services.
Our efforts in these areas have expanded
globally over the past several years with
the goal of creating a “global culture
of health”. Planning and programming
are customized by country, region and
operating company, based on different
health care systems, disease states,
culturally specific behaviors and accessibility
to services. This allows us to expand
services while being mindful of varying
cultural and business needs worldwide.
We have three strategic objectives
for employee health — sustain a global
culture of health, reduce employee
health risk factors, and ensure regulatory
compliance. Senior executives review
the strategy and performance annually.
HEALTH GOALS AND PERFORMANCE
For many years, we have used a voluntary
employee health profile to give us
an indication of employee health and
the impact of our health programs. The
profile is a confidential questionnaire that
identifies health and lifestyle risks including
tobacco use, blood pressure, cholesterol
and inactivity. We have made good
progress reducing tobacco use and
lowering blood pressure and cholesterol,
but employee inactivity continues to
be a challenge (see the Data Summary
Table on page 40). We estimate that our
attention to these areas has avoided
$15.9 million in health care costs. During
2007, additional health targets were
successfully achieved:
GOALS (by 2008)
Increase employee voluntary use of the
health profile in the U.S.
•ACTUAL
85% of employees participated,
an 18% increase
65% of U.S. employees who participate
in voluntary health screening profile are

•ACTUAL

HIV/AIDS WORKPLACE INITIATIVE
The goal of our Worldwide HIV/AIDS
Policy, introduced in 2005, is to ensure
that all of our employees have access to
HIV/AIDS treatment and support services.
The policy provides for non-discrimination
and confidentiality protection for
employees living with HIV/AIDS; voluntary
counseling and testing programs; care,
support and treatment for employees
and their dependents with HIV/AIDS;
and prevention, education, and awareness
programs for all employees of the
Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies
and their dependents. At the end of 2007,
elements of this policy had been implemented
at 98 percent of our U.S. and
Puerto Rico sites, and 81 percent globally.

been created for health and wellness

employee health risk level, and on-time
completion of medical surveillance.
