PROMOTING EMPLOYEE HEALTH, WELLNESS AND SAFETY PulteGroup’s success would not be possible without our people. Valuing the contributions of our employees means doing what it takes to help ensure their well-being.
Thrive, PulteGroup’s new health and wellness program, goes beyond physical and emotional health to include financial and social wellness, too. Enhanced benefits for employees include an additional two weeks of paid maternity leave, bringing the total to 8-10 weeks, adoption-related benefits, increased mental wellness visits and a fertility solutions program. And we are there when employees face adversity. When Hurricane Ian hit Florida in 2022, our Employee Assistance Program was available to quickly provide funds and help employees in our Southwest and Central Florida divisions cope with extremely difficult conditions. The EAP, which paid out over $200,000 to impacted employees, had been established five years earlier when Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Texas. New home construction involves lots of people, using heavy equipment and power tools and moving large objects, so safety must be a top priority because lives depend on it. Given the importance of worker safety, we voluntarily disclose our Occupational Safety and Health Administration reportable incident rate for employees and contractors within our Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting and our sustainability reports.
In addition to complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding working conditions and occupational safety standards, we also require our employees and trade partners to meet our own internal standards. We routinely conduct on-site and unannounced safety audits, with results reviewed by operating leadership and reported to our Board of Directors.
OUR CONSTRUCTION QUALITY ASSESSMENT (CQA) audits cover everything from job site safety and site conditions to the house construction and interior finishes. CQA best practices are assessed on a graduated scale of 0 to 4, with 4 being the highest level of compliance.
