Our employees success at work and in life depend on their holistic health, safety and security which we support throughout our global locations 

• Health, Safety, and COVID-19
  • In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we support our employees in making their health and their families’ health a top priority, and we provide them with resources to work remotely whenever needed. For essential labs and offices that remain open, we have instituted frequent disinfection,   temperature taking, and strong social distancing guidelines.
• Health and Wellness
  • We offer programs to assist with employees’ personal wellness, including fitness classes, on-site gym facility, and wellness classes including yoga and massage therapy. We also offer annual health screening which when completed results in a reduction in insurance premium cost directly impacting our employees.

Our employees are the heartbeat of the company and drive the growth and innovation of our products, therefore the growth of the employee is paramount. Synaptics regularly provides extensive training and development programs for employees and monitors the success of these programs through employee satisfaction and engagement feedback. 

Synaptics employees build engagement and connection through their daily work but that connection extends beyond just the lab and the boardroom. Teams all over the world unite through company-wide celebrations such as International Women’s Day, Pi Day & Earth Day. Wellness & community events like ‘Bike to Work Day’ and Global Fitness Challenges motivate teams globally in support of health and fun competition.  And we recognize individual and team success through the Innovation Awards and the celebration of milestone anniversaries.
