Benefits and wellbeing
We provide a comprehensive and highly valued total rewards package to attract and retain exceptional, Mission-driven colleagues.
To offer meaningful benefits, we follow a global framework and set of design principles to implement programming at the country level that promotes talent mobility and wellbeing. As a global company, the benefits and total rewards we offer vary by country.
In the United States, colleagues have a choice of comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans, including tax-advantaged savings and spending accounts, as well as commuter benefits, an enhanced mental health benefit and company-paid disability, accident and life insurance. We also provide up to eleven weeks of paid leave for new parents.
Part-time colleagues in North America who work at least 20 hours per week also have access to benefits, including medical and retirement plans.
Colleague wellbeing
Wellbeing is essential to fostering a thriving and engaged workforce. Thermo Fisher is committed to supporting the physical, mental, social and financial health of our colleagues across the globe.
One of our many company-sponsored proprietary programs is IMPACT, which gives colleagues and their families in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada access to personalized support and direct lines of communication to experts after a cancer diagnosis. Through IMPACT, we have enrolled over 1,000 participants and celebrated 10 years of making a difference in the lives of our colleagues and their loved ones.

Inflection is a global program for menopause, fertility and family building. This program provides inclusive, research-based, curated resources with content developed and delivered by leading experts on topics such as family planning costs and options. Inflection supports our colleagues in making informed decisions with confidence. In partnership with the Women’s Empowerment BRG, this offering led Thermo Fisher to become a certified menopause-friendly employer in the United Kingdom in 2025.
Financial wellbeing
We invest in our colleagues’ financial health, helping them to grow and protect their savings, plan for the future and share in the success of the company they are helping to build. For example, our programs in the United States and United Kingdom offer financial education on topics including savings, debt, purchasing a home, planning for retirement and planning for a child’s education. In addition, we provide tuition reimbursement in the United States and Canada, and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), available in more than 20 countries, offers colleagues the opportunity to purchase company stock at a discount.
Mental health and wellbeing
As the need for mental health care continues to rise worldwide, we remain steadfast in providing programs that help our colleagues be the best versions of themselves. Our mental health benefit provides global colleagues with services in their local language at no cost. Building on targeted enhancements in key countries to strengthen access and coverage, we expanded our mental health program to four additional countries in 2025—bringing concierge services and advanced digital tools to support colleagues and their eligible family members on their journey of self-care, therapy and coaching.
Meeting colleagus' evolving needs
Continually evaluating our total rewards package is key. We measure it against established benchmarks and relevant market practices to deliver flexible and efficient programs and resources that best meet the needs of our global colleagues and their families. Staying aligned to the changing needs of our colleagues is key to supporting them in ways that will truly add value to and most positively impact their lives.
