Independent third-party office
health and safety inspections'
As part of our return-to-office strategy, we worked with
leading global firms who specialize in environmental health
and safety inspection, verification and testing to certify
that each workplace was prepared for re-occupancy. These
firms provided an independent audit to inform best-in-
class recommendations in facility services areas such as
cleaning, water and air testing and response planning. This
audit also provided us an opportunity, where reasonable, to
benchmark inspection results against peer companies.
Ensuring the health and safety
of employees
We are committed to protecting the safety, health
and well-being of all employees and individuals in our
workplace. As a result, we are committed to complying with
all health and safety laws and regulations, including laws
and regulations relating to COVID-19 and / or other public
health emergencies, in all countries and localities in which
we do business.
Occupational health and safety measures and programs,
such as communications, trainings and policies, are
managed at either the local or regional level. In addition,
third-party providers in the global real estate group also
track information relating to health and safety items, such
as workplace injuries, and report such information where
required (such as to the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration in the U.S.).
Site-based inspections of workspaces are also performed
at offices, in accordance with local requirements. All
applicable inspections, which may include such items as
safety and fire inspections, are reported and filed with
the authority having jurisdiction for those offices with
the endorsement of any relevant work councils.
Employees are also encouraged to report work-related
hazards in the workplace. For more information on our
reporting mechanisms, please see Ethics and Integrity.
WORKPLACE OF THE
FUTURE
As we continue to monitor the risk presented by the
pandemic, we are also re-assessing and evolving the
ways we work. Initiated in 2020, our Workplace of the
Future (WoF) program is focused on enabling a robust
hybrid work model.
As vaccination rates increased and local rules and
regulations eased during 2021, we took a phased
approach to reopening our offices for employees who
wanted to return in person at least part of the time. By
year end, approximately 90% of our office footprint
was open for business. Employees had broad flexibility
around when to work from the office and when to
work from home, taking into account their individual
well-being availability of child and elder care, and
local infrastructure enabling them to travel safely to
work. In addition to carefully following local rules and
regulations, many locations implemented rotations to
allow for physical distancing and provided mandatory
training on protocols and employee expectations.
