Company History

FOSTER A HEALTHY & WELL WORKFORCE

Goodyear is proud of our program, GoodLife, which helps associates improve their health and wellness. The GoodLife mission is to foster an atmosphere of wellness, promoting a culture of health for Goodyear associates and their families. We achieve this goal by providing information, tools, and resources that empower associates to become healthy, engaged, and productive at work and at home.

Goodyear’s focus on our associates’ health and wellness is powered by GoodLife, our global wellness program that embodies a holistic approach to health and well-being for associates and their families.

We encourage a healthy workforce through voluntary initiatives, a Healthy Choice Incentive, wellness physicals, year-round vaccination clinics and educational programs that support our core pillars.

Our GoodLife Health Center (GLHC) provider administered vaccination and flu shot programs throughout 2023 in all Goodyear locations that offer onsite wellness services. Where onsite clinics are not available, Goodyear partners with local providers to ensure our associates have access to the essential care they need.

In addition to these health offerings, associates have regular access to wellness programs at the GLHC, personal health services and more. We provide an onsite Fitness Center at our global headquarters, as well as in other locations, to ensure associates can maintain a healthy body and mind.

GoodLife also sponsors annual onsite trainings and activities that receive positive feedback from associates and leaders, while driving awareness of Goodyear’s commitment to well-being:

  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training: In partnership with Goodyear Security Services, GoodLife sponsors an annual CPR certification program, training and certifying more than 100 Akron-based associates every year.
  • World Heart Day: Supporting the global effort to improve cardiovascular education, GoodLife annually observes World Heart Day by offering heart-healthy food and recipes. The positive response resulted in a GoodLife follow-up program where the wellness team provided an expanded selection of healthy snacks, recipes and more.
  • Each year, GoodLife partners closely with our Community Engagement team to drive participation in the annual Akron Half Marathon & 10K. We further promote participation in these events by waiving the race registration fee for early registrants. GoodLife also provides first aid kit items for associates to use during our annual Global Week of Volunteering.
  • GoodLife promotes a “Know Your Numbers” campaign each year, encouraging associates to engage with their healthcare providers to better understand key metrics related to their individual health and wellness. Through these campaigns and engagement with their care teams, associates have learned of improved ways of managing chronic conditions, but also how to incorporate healthier nutrition and lifestyle behaviors in their daily living.
     

Safe and healthy worksites are essential to our business, so we regularly assess the measures we have in place to protect our associates.

As part of this commitment, eight manufacturing locations have fully operating GoodLife Health Centers with first-responder teams and fire brigades.

We also provide clinical services at five additional worksites. These services are designed to prevent workplace illness and injury, but in the event something occurs, the GoodLife Health Center staff is there to provide the appropriate care and triage based on the severity of the event. The GoodLife Health Center staff focuses much of their time conducting new hire physicals, hearing conservation tests, injury prevention training and proactive outreach to our associates on the plant floor to ensure both safety and personal well-being are at the forefront of everything they do.

These services help the continued operations of our workforce to help achieve our business objectives but also deliver wellness opportunities that our associates can leverage to improve their personal health.
