Based on their job function, employees and their supervisors can make individual arrangements for a flexible work practice that maximizes professional and personal productivity.
FlexAbility puts into practice a new way of thinking: that work life and personal life can coexist. A FlexAbility plan can put the power in the employee’s hands to make choices that benefit them, their work, their team, their friends and family, and 3M. For more details, visit FlexAbility at 3M.
Rewarding employees for their efforts.
Medical, dental, and vision plan options; savings and retirement plans; a 3M employee stock purchase plan; and many other resources can enhance a 3M employee’s life, both physically and financially. All regular full-time employees in the United States are eligible for these benefits — regular part-time employees who work at least 20 hours a week are also eligible. Some programs and benefits may differ internationally due to local laws and regulations.
As of January 1, 2019, where applicable, benefit eligibility also extends to domestic partners and their children.
Our parental leave policy helps employees be their best selves at home and at work. All U.S. salaried mothers and fathers of newborn or newly adopted children are entitled to up to 20 weeks (10 weeks paid and 10 weeks unpaid) of parental leave. This policy was instituted in late 2016. In 2019, 1,119 U.S. eligible employees participated, including 322 females and — we’re proud to say — 797 males.
* 2019 numbers may include those that left on leave in 2018 and came back in 2019. Some employees on leave in 2019 may return in 2020.

Data related to employee metrics has been derived from our human capital management system. For the data in the charts provided to the right, 100% has been calculated with no assumptions. Additional information on data management can be found in the About report section.
The employee metrics in the charts are reflective of employee headcount as of December 31, 2019 (total number of 3M full-time and part-time employees), not 3M full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Due to acquisition integration schedules factored into 3M’s human capital management system, detailed employee information below may differ from employee totals in 3M financial reports.

In 2020, we will continue to work toward our 2025 Sustainability Goal for employee participation in development by strengthening our “development for all” philosophy.
As we build 3M for the future, strengthening our culture is a top priority. At its core, culture is how we do things at 3M, and it belongs to all of us equally. As change occurs, we are engaging our employees by continually broadening our listening strategies.

People and culture.
In 2019, we published our first-ever 2018 Year in Review of People and Culture magazine. The magazine features stories from a few of the 96,000 employees who represent what culture looks like at 3M. Everyone has their own journey: how they arrived at 3M; how they focus their time professionally at 3M and externally; how they learn, innovate, and partner at 3M; and how they contribute to one global 3M culture.
Leading through change.
In 2019, we focused on creating change leaders. With our background in growth mindset training, we focused on change leadership to guide us through organizational changes that will strengthen our company. Leading change is about helping people move from unaware to full commitment to the change. We created a Leading Through Change intranet website and provide tools and resources for leaders and others through each phase of the change.

Our commitment 3M is at the forefront of the global effort to bring science and innovation to workplace safety. At the same time, as an enterprise with 96,000 employees working around the world, we are always taking steps to further advance the safety, health, and wellbeing of our employees.
3M is committed to helping improve the safety and health of people worldwide, so we can all focus on what matters most to us.
Employee safety and health.
The 3M Safety and Health Policy applies to 3M operations everywhere, including new acquisitions. Hazards in 3M’s workplaces must be well understood and effectively managed to protect 3M employees, visitors, sites, and surrounding communities.
In addition, we continue to evaluate opportunities to raise our safety and health standards. We visit sites to identify and manage environmental, health, and safety (EHS) risks; evaluate compliance with regulatory requirements and conformance to 3M policies and standards; identify opportunities for continuous improvement; and share exemplary practices among 3M auditable entities. Additional details on these efforts can be found in the Environmental management section.
To assure consistent reporting and metrics globally, 3M, like many multinational companies, follows the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordkeeping rules and formulas to record and measure injury and illness rates worldwide. At all sites within 3M’s operational control, 3M employees and contingent employees are covered by our injury and illness recordkeeping rules.
3M medical programs and services 3M is committed to promoting a culture of health by identifying and controlling potential stressors in the workplace that impact health and well-being. Employees are encouraged to take advantage of 3M’s health and well-being programs that promote disease prevention and health improvement. People are the most important part of our company. 3M aims to support healthy lifestyles and create a psychologically safe work environment that empowers employees to be their best both at work and at home.
Our programs are designed to prevent health-related issues. Clinical services for illnesses and injuries are offered at 3M sites worldwide. Some of our preventive programs include hypertension management, cardiovascular risk reduction, stress management, physical activity programs, smoking cessation, nutrition consultation, and cancer prevention in partnership with the 3M Healthy Living program.
3M’s Medical Record Standard defines the rules that must be followed to protect workers’ medical information. The standard covers access, collection, storage, security, transfer of records, record retention, and record destruction. This standard assures that 3M medical information is handled in a manner consistent with the 3M Data Privacy Principle and all applicable legal requirements.
On-site occupational health services are available at specific 3M sites around the world, based on the risk factors at each site. 3M supports volunteer first responder teams by providing CPR/Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training to employees. All manufacturing sites in the United States are supplied with AEDs and staffed with AED-trained personnel.
Health and safety Protecting our people at home and work.
International travel health.
Our travel health team prepares 3M employees for international business travel through comprehensive travel health consultations that include a personal health history review, immunizations, appropriate travel medications, and travel health education. We assist all employees who may require medical assistance while away from their home country.
Healthy living.
Health, wealth, wellness, and resilience create a framework for a collection of programs, resources, and services designed to help employees and their families achieve their wellbeing goals. Programs and services vary globally, examples include free flu shots, health-conscious options in the cafeterias, on-site fitness centers and medical care, telehealth, adoption and foster care support, and the FlexAbility approach, which provides employees with help optimizing their work and personal life through one-onone planning with their supervisor.
Additional information can be found in the Employee programs section of this report.
Contractor and visitor safety and health 3M requires all visitors, vendors, contingent workers, and contractors at 3M sites to follow all applicable 3M workplace safety and health requirements. For example, contractors must complete a prequalification process before they may perform work on 3M premises. This process includes, among other things, reviewing the contractor’s employee injury/illness rates, experience modification rates (EMR), employee training records, and safety committee activities. Contractor performance evaluations include safety reviews. Pre-construction safety reviews address potential hazards and controls related to the work.
