XPO Logistics Expands Free Benefits For New Parents And Expectant Mothers
GREENWICH, CT… XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading global provider of
transportation and logistics solutions, recently announced free, comprehensive
supplemental care for new parents and expectant mothers, expanding XPO’s
commitment to providing high-quality care for women and working families.
Through a partnership with Maven Clinic, a virtual network of expert healthcare
practitioners, new parents and expectant mothers gain additional support
services that complement their regular medical care.
XPO is setting the
standard in its industry by offering this comprehensive supplemental health
care coverage for employees. The announcement follows the company’s
introduction of a new, comprehensive pregnancy care accommodation policy and
family leave policy earlier this year.
Through a mobile app,
the new program offers XPO’s US employees and their families the convenience of
on-demand access – anytime, anywhere – to a custom network of more than 1,400
highly-vetted health practitioners across 20 specialties, including fertility,
lactation, infant sleep, nutrition, mental health and more. Participants can
consult with practitioners over the phone, through video chats or via private
messaging. They can also sign up with a personal care coordinator who advocates
for them throughout their experience, coordinating support during their
pregnancy, postpartum and return to work.
Josephine Berisha,
senior vice president, compensation and benefits of XPO Logistics, said, “This
virtual clinic gives our employees 24/7, on-demand access to an array of the
services that women and their families seek most during and after pregnancy.
These services complement our existing suite of US medical plans and are free
to all employees. Expert digital healthcare is an important additional
convenience for new parents, especially working mothers who are balancing the
demands of home and work.”
Employees enrolled in
an XPO medical plan can access these services at any time during a pregnancy
and up to six months postpartum at no cost. These services extend to expectant
parents during the surrogacy or adoption process and to women who experience a
loss of pregnancy. Additionally, employees interested in fertility treatments
or egg freezing can receive discounts on services and up to six months of
support from specialists for certain services.
