The HR team has been working on improvements to the employee experience to support a growing Clinical Diagnostics employee base.
In July, the HR team introduced two enhancements to the U.S. Rewards program:
Introduction of 100% paid U.S. parental leave
Colleagues who have been with LGC for one consecutive year are eligible for 8-weeks of 100% paid parental leave for birth, adoption, and surrogacy, effective from June 1, 2021. View the updated policy here.
Expansion of observed U.S. holidays
LGC will adopt 13 paid holidays annually starting on December 1, 2022. These holidays will include the days between Christmas and New Year’s Day as well as 2 floating holidays to ensure employees have the choice and flexibility to observe days that are important to them. For an updated holiday schedule, please see this document on MyLGC.
The annual employee engagement closed on August 15th with an 86% response rate from Clinical Diagnostics. Thank you to everyone who responded! The survey results will help management better understand what is most important to employees.
Finally, please join us in in greeting the 54 new employees who have joined Clinical Diagnostics since the last newsletter:
