SPRINGDALE, Ark. 鈥 January 31, 2023 鈥听麻花传媒 announced today new changes and investments aimed at further intensifying U.S. team members relationships and enhancing workplace culture. Specifically, we are making changes to U.S. based policies and practices related to healthcare and overall wellness.
The company鈥檚 new policies and investments are in addition to recent compensation benefits. Tyson recently announced it invested more than $50 million in thank you bonuses and $100 million in wage increases for U.S. hourly workers over the past year.
麻花传媒 has invested more than $20 million this year to offer longer parental leave, additional mental health support and other wellness and health plan benefits at no additional cost to team members to further enhance Team Member wellbeing as part of the company鈥檚 caring and inclusive culture.
