We operate across the globe, with offices and laboratories in more than 30 countries. In addition to our multi-building headquarters, we have 40 facilities globally, nine of which we own /are the sole tenant. The rest of our facilities are in multi-tenant buildings . We predominantly operate in an office environment, and where we can employ building automation and energy management systems, we have done so.Employee Social – While employee social events may look different, Medpace continues to create opportunities for employees to socialize, build relationships, and de-stress during difficult times. In the past year, Medpace has continued to sponsor outdoor races, hold mobile/virtual happy hours, provide desk-drop goodies, and has even gotten creative with at-home photo contests . Work Life Balance – As Medpace has begun the transition back to the office, we have remained focused on balancing the safety of our associates, the benefits of in-person team collaboration, training, and development, and the personal and professional needs of the employees. Medpace has instituted a new Remote Work policy allowing for greater flexibility in work location. Medpace has also expanded the sick time PTO provision in the US.As a publicly traded company, the Board of Directors of our parent company Medpace Holdings, Inc . meets on a regular basis and provides detailed financial information to the SEC. Additionally, the Chief Compliance Officer reports to the Board of Directors at each board meeting and to senior leadership as necessary. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to transparent conduct and lawful operations of public companies. Our employees and contractors are provided with multiple mechanisms to report actual or suspected violations of the Code of Business and Ethics or any other Medpace SOPs, including, as outlined in our Whistleblower Policy, an anonymous whistleblower hotline number and a dedicated email and phone number for the reporting of ethics and compliance concerns. Reports are investigated and corrective action is implemented where appropriate. We do not tolerate retaliation of any kind against anyone who submits a good faith report .In the countries in which supplemental health insurance is commonplace, we provide medical, dental, and vision insurance. In the US, we have implemented high deductible health plans, while seeding employee Health Savings Accounts and providing continuing education on adopting and maintaining a consumer-driven approach to healthcare (for example, telemedicine, provider quality and cost scores, and mail delivery prescriptions). We recognize that the time and energy required to plan for retirement is significant. Therefore, we provide defined contribution retirement plans in many countries where supplemental employer-sponsored plans are common. We also believe in the importance of financial literacy, and we recently established a partnership with First Financial Bank to provide employees with convenient banking services and financial education on our Cincinnati campus . The program provides employees with valuable knowledge on personal finances, access to online financial tools and more.We do not tolerate human trafficking, child labor, or modern slavery of any kind in any Medpace operations. While the risk of human trafficking, child labor, and modern slavery are very low in the clinical trial industry, we train every employee in the recognition and elimination of forced labor and modern slavery in our operations. These practices are not tolerated in the recruiting of Medpace associates or clinical trial participants, or in the Medpace supply chain . Our commitment to protecting human rights and combating all forms of human trafficking and human slavery can be found in our Human Rights Statement, available on our website.
