Supporting STEM education for the next generation
We’re passionate about helping our people achieve their potential, but we extend that passion beyond our own company. We are active in the Teach for America Innovation Consortium, that brings STEM professionals and STEM teachers together to identify the best ways to support the career goals of under-served students. We also sponsor Athena, promoting growth for women in STEM-related industries, and host Job Shadow Day with RealityChangers, an organization that helps high-potential, low-income youths become first-generation college students at top universities.
Through the ResMed Foundation, we also support research and education on sleep and respiratory health that affects millions around the world.
Volunteering
Our ResMed team members are empowered to give back with organized volunteer events or taking time to volunteer for the cause of their choice. In the United States, employees are given 16 hours of paid time off to volunteer for causes they deem the most impactful.
We have employees that travel to volunteer, mentor youth in their communities and engage in beach cleanups amongst other valuable initiatives. Whilst many ResMedians take this time to volunteer on their own or with their families, our teams often get together to organize their own volunteering events as a team bonding activity.
Device Donations
While we encourage employees to donate their time to community causes, and our company gives back through monetary contributions, we also donate our medical devices. ResMed partners with organizations to get our devices to underserved communities, making sure patients in need can access healthy sleep and care.
Disaster Relief
With dual headquarters in Sydney, Australia, and San Diego, California, ResMed is no stranger to natural disasters, and especially the impact of recent wildfires.
We partner with various organizations to respond to natural disasters – in both financial support and in understanding how to best support patients during a crisis.
Health and Wellbeing
We recognize the benefits of a healthy workforce and adopt a holistic approach to the health and safety of our people. While they vary by region, across our major sites we provide employee health and wellbeing programs that may include on site health testing, support for fitness, subsidised quit-smoking programs, screening and employee purchase support for sleep apnea, confidential third-party counselling, referrals for stress and mental health issues or support for gym membership. In some jurisdictions, company – sponsored private health insurance may be offered.
