At Thermo Fisher, we deliver competitive and highly valued total rewards packages to attract and retain exceptional colleagues who want rewarding, Mission-driven careers. To offer meaningful and equitable benefits, we follow a global framework and set of design principles to implement programming at the country level that promotes talent mobility and wellbeing.

We continually evaluate our total rewards package and measure it against established benchmarks and relevant market practices to provide flexible and efficient programs and resources that best meet the needs of our global colleagues and their families.

In the US, where our largest colleague population resides, colleagues have a choice of comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans, including tax-advantaged savings and spending accounts, as well as commuter benefits, employee assistance programs (EAP), and company-paid disability, accident and life insurance. We also provide eight weeks of paid leave for primary caregivers and three additional weeks of bonding leave for new parents.

We also offer colleagues a medical plan option focused on affordability. Part-time colleagues in North America who work at least 20 hours per week also have access to benefits, including medical and retirement plans.

Sites across our company form Wellness Teams to promote individual wellness efforts among their colleagues ranging from organizing team participation in runs, walks, and cycling events, to providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and increasing awareness around mental health and workplace safety.
