1.4.2.4.4 Health and safety
Ubisoft is attentive to its employees’ health.
There are many local initiatives aimed at facilitating the daily working lives of our employees. The
studio in Montreal, for example, which represents almost one third of the Group’s staff, has a well-
being clinic for all employees and their families, which is open five days a week. Employees at the
Bucharest studio also have access to an on-site doctor four days a week.
In addition, Ubisoft continues to raise awareness among its employees on health and safety issues. As
such, 126 people received training during the financial year (see section 1.4.2.3).
Furthermore, several sites implement programs that raise awareness of health and well-being in the
workplace. For example, in order to safeguard the health of its teams, the Toronto studio provides the
opportunity to adapt work stations to individual needs based on the advice of an ergonomist.
As at the end of March 2014, the development of indicators relating to health and safety in the
workplace broke down as follows:
