At Johnson & Johnson’s on-site fitness centers, employees undergo personal fitness evaluations and are assigned targeted workout plans.

This New Brunswick, NJ–based health-care company ramped up its efforts last year to create a “culture of caring” by introducing an additional 40 paid hours off for anyone who needs extra time to tend to family and personal responsibilities. Meanwhile, six weeks are partially paid for those who give birth, in addition to at least eight weeks of job-guaranteed leave. The company offers all parents discounts at six national child-care chains, plus sliding-scale tuition at seven on-site facilities with fulltime, backup, sick-child, holiday and summer care. Kids in grades 4 through 12 can take advantage of new discounts on homework and tutoring services. In-home elder-care assessments, on-site nursing-home reviews and scheduled check-ins on older relatives help relieve stress. And at on-site fitness centers, employees can get targeted workout plans.
