40 Health and safety (H&S)

The health and safety of TD employees wherever they work are paramount, and we have an excellent health and safety record. Our health and safety initiatives include best-practice ergonomic standards in design and refurbishments; training, including mandatory courses for all managers and H&S representatives; and a dedicated intranet resource with information on a range of health topics.

• In Canada we saw a slight year-over-year decline in minor injuries and days absent and a very slight increase in disabling injuries. These numbers are in line with the average of the last five years. Disabling injuries are primarily related to slips, trips and falls and are often connected to weather conditions.

• In the U.S. we saw an increase in cases requiring medical treatment. A top cause was slips, trips and falls. We conducted an audit and have put actions in place to reduce the number of these incidents.

» 2012 Health and Safety Performance

Supporting work/life flexibility To be engaged at work, employees need to be able to balance their business obligations with family and other demands on their personal time. TD offers a range of flexible work options that allow managers and employees to develop workable solutions.

+ Summary of flexible work options

Personal performance and career development Employees tell us that part of feeling engaged is having the opportunity to learn new skills and develop to their full potential. Employees and their managers meet twice yearly to discuss the employee’s strengths, needs and aspirations in formal performance and development reviews. We encourage employees to take ownership of their careers and offer help in the form of a broad range of tools and support, including:

• An online Learning Management System; • A comprehensive catalogue of developmental activity ideas linked to learning maps; • Tuition reimbursement programs; and • Group and individual mentoring programs.
