Timken invests in programs that support and encourage personal health and wellness among associates.

To encourage our associates to practice good health, we provide resources that address such important health matters as nutrition, physical activity and weight management. We sponsor health fairs and wellness "brown bag” lunches, provide health risk assessments, onsite screening, and lifestyle and disease management programs. We communicate regularly with global associates through “Be Well” articles and tips that cover a variety of health and wellness topics.

One of Timken’s signature wellness programs, Active for Life, involves a global partnership with the American Cancer Society. The annual 10-week program focuses on physical fitness and nutrition to drive healthy lifestyles. Each year, thousands of associates at 29 global locations participate. In China, associates participate daily in a low-impact, instructor-led stretch activity displayed on TV monitors throughout the different offices.

Virtual teams of Timken associates also participate in Active for Life, bringing together colleagues from the U.S., France, Mexico and Poland to inspire one another through fitness success stories shared online. Associates have used this program to develop healthy habits that not only make them feel better, but help them lose weight and improve blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
