    D. Policy Statement

    As a Department of Energy site, Berkeley Lab is committed to the health and wellness of all employees and considers wellness programs to be an essential component of a preventative medicine program.
    Berkeley Lab provides employees and their families with opportunities for health promotion through a variety of means that are coordinated through Health Services. The program is centrally reviewed and approved by the Medical Director; however, content is a collaborative effort across the following groups:

    • Health Services: provides physical health exams and wellness-associated services (e.g. vaccinations).
    • Human Resources: provides access to information regarding options for employee benefits and how to access them.
    • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accountability (IDEA) Office: supports several initiatives to promote well-being for all.
    • University of California: provides a variety of tools for employees, including the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and financial planning resources.

    Information about upcoming health promotion offerings is disseminated via the newsletter Elements, the Healthy & Well at LBNL website, or by direct communication with employees.
