Q&A With Mastercard Employees

Health and retirement benefits are just one way we ensure our employees feel valued and satisfied. We also offer: Family care resources Adoption assistance Paid parental leave (up to 8 weeks in the U.S.); coverage is per employee and covers birth and adoptive parents Employee and Family Resource Program Financial Wellness programs Personal services and discounts Same-sex domestic partner medical and dental coverage globally Transgender surgery for U.S. medical plans Fostering Work-Life Balance Flexible work hours Results, not hours, count. Our workplace allows the kind of scheduling flexibility that helps balance work demands with personal responsibilities. Matching gift and volunteer incentive programs? We encourage employees to spend time volunteering in their communities. And, eligible employees and retirees can also donate to the nonprofit groups or educational institutions of their choice, and we’ll match the donation dollar-for-dollar — up to $15,000 per year. Learning and Career Development The workplace as learning lab When employees are empowered, they’re more likely to take an active role in their own development. That’s why we provide employees with opportunities to lead initiatives, work on cross-functional projects or volunteer for rotational assignments — either in their own office or in one of our other offices around the world. The value of coaching and feedback Our managers receive extensive training in both managerial and coaching skills. This helps ensure that all our employees get the ongoing feedback they need to make the most of their talents. We want our employees to succeed. Financial assistance for education? Mastercard provides financial assistance to eligible employees who want to take their education and professional development to the next level.
