Promega regularly surveys and evaluates employee needs to develop benefits that support overall well-being in every facet of life. Employees around the world are offered comprehensive packages based on country standards, including medical, dental and vision coverage, competitive 401(k) plans, flexible spending accounts for healthcare and short- and long-term disability insurance. Additionally, benefits offered in specific countries aim to support employees dealing with specific life challenges and events.
- Family Forming Services: Promega began a partnership with Carrot to administer a new family-forming benefit including enhanced fertility services, infertility guidance, adoption coaching, gestational carrier resources and low-T support.
- Caregiver Leave: US employees are eligible for 240 hours of paid time annually to care for aging parents, ill spouses or domestic partners, children with medical needs, or to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child without sacrificing their own paid sick leave or vacation.
- Student Loan Acceleration: US employees with student debt can apply to receive an additional $100/month from Promega to accelerate their repayment.
- Expanded medical plan: Promega expanded the definition of “medically necessary” in our medical plan for US employees to include services for transgender individuals that were previously excluded as cosmetic in nature. The medical plan has also expanded to support individuals requiring therapy for an Autism spectrum diagnosis and/or developmental delays.
