About Our Workplace Practices
RESILIENCY TRAINING
Employee Assistance Programs are both
reactive and pro-active. Johnson & Johnson's
operating companies are now offering
services to help employees learn to manage
stress before it manifests in physical or
emotional illness. Resiliency training
gives employees stress management skills
and provides techniques that increase
personal ability to quickly bounce back
from the ups and downs of life. In 2007,
approximately 15 percent of our global
workforce participated in this training.
SAFE PEOPLE GOALS
AND PERFORMANCE
Johnson & Johnson has long had
annual goals to continuously improve
safety performance at its facilities. In
2007, an internal team transformed the
year-on-year safety goal and target
setting process into a longer-term enterprise-wide
set of safety goals called Safe
People 2010. To help select targets, we
benchmarked our current performance
with two different industry groups.
Our safety indicators are already
amongst those of the leaders and,
while we still have an aspiration for zero
injuries/illnesses, we were able to set
targets for lost workday and serious
injury/illness cases, fleet accidents,
compliance, action planning and safety
culture. In addition, we expanded our
metrics to include safety at our external
manufacturers. Our performance is
summarized below, and it compares
favorably to industry benchmarks.

MORE ABOUT OUR WORKPLACE PRACTICES
SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Employee health and safety are among
our highest values. Johnson & Johnson
aspires to be among the leaders in
health and safety by achieving healthy
lifestyles and injury-free workplaces.
Leadership is characterized by elimination
of injuries and illnesses, global best
practice sharing, influence in the regulatory
environment, and delivered business
results. Corporate standards and a
strong internal management system are
audited by impartial teams from outside
the audited facilities and safety performance
is discussed annually with the Public
Policy Advisory Committee of the Board
of Directors. Our programs are deployed
by several hundred safety and industrial
hygiene professionals throughout our
operating companies, but we owe our
strong performance to the engagement
and commitment of employees at all
levels. Key challenges include improving
the safety performance of new acquisitions,
bringing renewed emphasis on
contractor safety, and influencing the
health and safety practices of our external
manufacturers.
SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS
Johnson & Johnson partners with a number
of external organizations to promote
health and safety in our workplaces and
our communities. Three partnerships
were of particular note in 2007 — the
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), the U.S. National
Safety Council (NSC) and the Joint
US/EU Conference on Health & Safety At
Work. At the end of 2007, we concluded
our second partnership with OSHA on
ergonomics. In 2008, we anticipate
entering into OSHA’s Alliance Program
with a focus on ergonomics, fleet safety
and prevention through design. Alliance
partners leverage OSHA’s resources and
expertise to share and promote workplace
health and safety information with
other companies.
The NSC is dedicated to
protecting life and promoting health.
Johnson & Johnson serves on the
NSC Board of Delegates and we are
working with the organization to promote
the business case for safety and
health. This effort follows our receipt of
the NSC Campbell Award in 2005. The
Johnson & Johnson business case will
be available in 2008.
Finally, we were one of only 14
companies invited to participate in the
Joint US/EU Conference on Health &
Safety At Work. The conference was
convened to share insights about
different approaches to eliminating
hazards in the workplace.
TALENT MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING
Johnson & Johnson companies encourage
employees at all levels to continually
develop their career and leadership
skills. To supplement on-the-job development,
we provide extensive, globally
accessible training and development.
Offerings span individual, team, organization
and leadership development
through options such as e-learning,
traditional classroom training and
blended learning.
TOBACCO-FREE POLICY
In 2007 we implemented a Worldwide
Tobacco-Free Work Place Policy that
prohibits tobacco at all company
locations, including buildings, property,
leased buildings, company vehicles
and company-sponsored meetings.
For approximately 18 months prior
to this change, we offered employees
and their dependents a variety of
smoking cessation programs, including
counseling, medications, on-line
programs, group meetings and
individual coaching — all at no cost
(in the United States). Globally, we
achieved 98 percent compliance with
this policy in 2007.
