According to Comparably, the global workplace culture and compensation monitoring site, Elsevier is one of the companies offering substantial mental health benefits to employees. Over the past decade, there has been a notable and significant shift towards prioritizing mental health awareness and recognizing its essential role in one’s overall well-being. This change reflects the growing understanding of the advantages of nurturing mental health, especially when individuals face various life challenges, such as work-related stress, financial burdens, or family issues. Consequently, promoting mental well-being has become paramount for Elsevier, as it enhances individuals’ capacity to thrive and enjoy a superior quality of life. We have embraced a comprehensive approach to supporting our people, leaving no one behind. We view employee well-being as an integral aspect of our corporate identity, cultivating a culture of care and resilience that permeates our entire organization. This altruistic and strategic approach aligns with the broader trend of recognizing the importance of mental health benefits within corporate healthcare packages.
From Elsevier, Happy World Menopause Day! Today, we join the global community in recognizing this important day designated by the International Menopause Society (IMS). It's a day to raise awareness of menopause and support options for enhancing the health and well-being of women in this phase of life. This year, the focus is on cardiovascular disease – an issue that profoundly affects women during menopause. It's crucial to address this and empower women with knowledge and support. At Elsevier, we're proud of our Employee Resource Group (ERG), Thrive, and their outstanding work to educate and support our colleagues worldwide during this transformative phase of life. Our menopause mentors are champions in encouraging open conversations in the workplace, breaking the stigma and taboos around menopause. Let's celebrate World Menopause Day by raising awareness, supporting positive options for health and well-being, and embracing this beautiful journey women go through.

Elsevier ranked #2 worldwide for work-life balance. Comparably names Elsevier among the top large companies for work-life balance and happiness, based on employee surveys. Recently, Comparably — the global workplace culture and compensation monitoring site — named its Top 100 companies for work-life balance, and I’m delighted to say that Elsevier ranked second. The list highlights the highest-rated workplace cultures of large companies (more than 500 employees) with an international footprint. Ratings are derived from current employees around the world who provided anonymous feedback on Comparably.com within the past 12 months. That makes the rankings especially important as they come from the people whose opinion matters most — our own employees. We also ranked #17 out of 100 large global companies as a Top Company for Happiest Employees. Comparably Co-founder/CEO Jason Nazar commented on the importance of happiness as a metric: “Our data shows that the happiest employees are often those who feel valued by their employers through a variety of factors like competitive compensation, clear goals, work-life balance, and a general excitement working for their organizations. The top-rated companies on our annual list succeed at meeting the needs of their workers across these very important factors.”
