Hello my name is Jacque Canfield and I am a Global OHS Manager for Nokia. We fall under the HR department and are responsible for safety health and wellbeing strategy, implementation and programs for our employees.

Slide 18

The headquarters in Nokia is in espoo finland. And with over 123,000 employees in 120 countries, sales in more than 160 countries, 9 mfg facilities, and a strong R&D presence Nokia has a strong global presence.

Slide 19

There is nothing on this slide that is “headline” news but each one is a driver for Nokia Wellbeing Programs. Nokias programs and strategies are driven around Employees wellbeing, productivity and engagement. Organizations understand that employee engagement is a force that drives performance outcomes. We are seeing habits previously seen in the West shifting to our Eastern populations….. Increase weight, increase diabetes…. And with this Nokia is seeing renewals come in higher than previous years. This isn’t just a Nokia trend but is seen globally. It’s a simple equation Less exercise and more food=higher weight which drives health outcomes. You can only negotiate renewals down to industry average. One of the challenges globally is that many of the cultures do not think it is the employers business or it is even taboo for us to have an opinion on employee health and wellbeing. Biometric Screenings, Health Promotions, Connection to the “total wellbeing” concept with a strong focus on mental health and its relationship to physical health and productivity. Focus on employees and engagement is a strong nokia driver.

Slide 20

The People Strategy is our high level business strategy and how we influence delivery to products and services. HR strategy ”people are at the core of everything we do”. Throughout the years, one of our biggest issues was segregation with programs and activities. One of our main drivers for the next two years is to harmonize and build on our best practices at a global level.

Slide 22

Employees will not participate in wellbeing initiatives or be engaged without employee commitment. We have global management programs that distinguish us from other companies. One being the True Nokia Leader—designed and implemented based off our weak employee survey results that showed a need to strengthen our focus on managers leadership skill. We launched the “leaders coaching leaders” where top mgrs take a coaching role to inspire other mgrs to improve. Good leadership and engagement are crucial in times of transformation and we believe the support structure this program promotes will do that. Top managers are identified thru our employee opinion survey from the emotional index and my manager sections. Owning your wellbeing is based off the employee survey as well looking at the social and physical wellbeing sections. Groups with low scores are encouraged to participate in facilitated sessions looking at wellbeing index. business groups was launched this year. The ways of working builds on the mgmt commitment by building a culture of trust and respect. Actively promoting flexible work schedules.

Slide 23

Change mgmt is a pilot program to address Business transformation activities. Mgr and employee based sessions to address the steps in change and tools we have available to help mgrs, impacted and non-impacted ee’s through those changes.

Slide 24

EAP services are not implemented Globally and there is a lot of resistance in some areas with management on the need.

The crucial relationship between mental health and work noted by Dame Carol Black (National Director for Health and Work Health, work and well being) in – Caring for our future. The benefits to the person, their family, the economy and the Exchequer from supporting someone with a mental health illness to gain or retain a job are significant.. Oxford Economics – Unum – March 2007 Key points: • Total number of IB recipients due to mental ill-health in 2006 was 1 million (40% of total IB recipients) • Similar numbers of IB recipients due to mental disorder as there are Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)recipients in the UK • Age profile of recipients due to mental disorder; younger people are least likely to claim, % ofrecipients within each group increases with age • Self-reported health-related illness (HSE) surveyshowed over 10 million working days lost due to stress,depression and anxiety in 2005/6 • Professional occupations had highest prevalence of stress/depression/ anxiety

Today, Cisco has a global workforce, with technology centers (highlighted on the map above) located broadly to access engineering talent throughout the world. Cisco’s global employee population is divided generally equally, with about 1/3 of our employees in engineering, about 1/3 in sales, and about 1/3 spread across the remaining disciplines. This workforce profile reflects Cisco’s intense focus on delivering the right technology solutions to meet our customers needs. And because Cisco uses these same technology solutions to run its own business, Cisco has been better able to satisfy customers in new ways, drive collaboration across our global organization, and deliver ongoing productivity gains for our shareholders. How old is Cisco? 1984 – 24 years Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) enables people to make powerful connections-whether in business, education, philanthropy, or creativity. Cisco hardware, software, and service offerings are used to create the Internet solutions that make networks possible-providing easy access to information anywhere, at any time.Cisco was founded in 1984 by a small group of computer scientists from Stanford University. Since the company's inception, Cisco engineers have been leaders in the development of Internet Protocol (IP)-based networking technologies. Today, with more than 65,225 employees worldwide, this tradition of innovation continues with industry-leading products and solutions in the company's core development areas of routing and switching, as well as in advanced technologies What is our average age of employee? 38.5 years What is the average tenure? 4.6 years What is our revenue? ($ 40b)? FY07 $34.9 B, FY08 Projected $38is B….roughly $40B is correct Anything else that would show the breadth of Cisco and the complexity? Current Regular Headcount: 56,282 Total # of Current Managers: 10,143 Hire Rate Fiscal Year to Date: 15.07% Attrition Rate Fiscal Year to Date: 6.45%

The importance of employee well-being and the role it plays in productivity and engagement... Health and productivity are becoming a greater focus outside the United States. Health care costs are expected to rise globally, even in those markets where health care is largely publicly financed. Substantial growth of cost in health care for India and China. Acceptance of how deeply connected physical health can be to mental health. Excessive work hours, lack of work/life balance and fears about job loss are the foremost sources of stress that are impacting organizations today. Employees level of well-being can sustain — or erode — their level of engagement.
