Our non-discrimination, minimum employment age requirement, freedom of association and fair compensation policies, as well as our policies on health, safety and security for our employees, cover these practices. We also align our policies with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, expressed by the United Nations.
We provide a core set of benefits worldwide that are tailored to meet the needs of our diverse workforce.
In each local market, Halliburton aims to provide comprehensive medical, disability, accident, and life insurance coverage. Company-sponsored medical plans typically include inpatient, outpatient, and professional services for medical and behavioral health needs, as well as prescription drug coverage. We also offer dental and vision coverages in the majority of countries.
In the U.S., all regular employees who are scheduled to work a minimum of 20 hours per week are eligible for all health, welfare, and retirement benefits offered by Halliburton, including retirement consultation and planning. Employees can elect different levels of coverage for themselves and their eligible family members for medical, prescription drug, behavioral health, dental, and vision coverage. Best-in-class nationwide vendors administer our medical plans to offer our employees comprehensive coverage wherever they reside.
In addition to healthcare coverage, our benefit plans include options for employee customization with a variety of options, including short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Employees in the U.S. and Canada also have access to accounts to help save for large health expenses.
All active U.S.-based employees are eligible to participate in the Halliburton Retirement and Savings Plan.
We recognize our employees have obligations outside work that may affect their abilities, at times, to be present, productive, and engaged. To ensure that our employees bring their best selves to work every day, we provide support to our employees and their families with multiple options to suit their needs as their work and home life dynamic evolve.
Halliburton's Family Care Program for U.S. employees include the following benefits:
Paid parental bonding benefit - Mothers and fathers who have experienced either the birth of a child or adoption of a child under the age of 18 may be eligible to take a paid bonding leave or receive a bonding payout in lieu of taking a paid leave.
To provide flexibility, employees may elect either eight weeks of paid bonding leave or a bonding payout in lieu of leave equivalent to two weeks of regular pay.
Paid bonding leave may be taken as one continuous leave or in increments, allowing the option for flexible working hours for new parents transitioning into a new work/life balance. Paid bonding leave is separate from, and in addition to, our existing medical leave benefits associated with a birth.
Employees anticipating a birth or adoption may contact the program advisor, who will provide informational resources and guidance to ensure the employee is successful in their ability to utilize the bonding benefit available to them.
Back-up dependent care - Assists employees in securing care for a child, disabled adult, or elder family member when their regular care is unavailable at little or no cost to the employee.
Halliburton provides employees with up to 15 days of back up care annually, in addition to access to other educational resources and benefits - such as priority waitlisting for care centers and childcare facility discounts.
In addition to the Family Care Program, preferential parking is provided for expectant mothers, along with lactation rooms at Halliburton to support expectant and new mothers.
We also offer two global programs that provide additional support and flexibility for our employees and their families. These include the Work Location Flexibility Program, which allows employees to work from home or from an alternate location, in addition to their assigned work location, and the Dual Careers Program, which provides career support services to an employee's spouse when an employee relocates, either domestically or internationally, to work for Halliburton. These spousal support services include résumé development, career planning, personal branding, networking, and job skills information.
Halliburton offers a variety of tools and resources to help employees advance their personal health and wellness. Our employee wellbeing program, HalWellness, provides all U.S. domestic and expatriate employees and their spouses with access to information and tools to help them achieve their personal health and wellness goals, including tobacco cessation, weight-loss programs, and health education.
The Halliburton Wellness Committee, collaborates to increase engagement and create opportunities for employees and their families to take ownership of their health and well-being, with a focus on prevention and health education.
