TD cares about the physical and mental health of employees and provides services and programs that assist in preventing and treating illnesses. These include self-assessment tools, counselling services and disability income protection. Here are some examples:

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): This is a counselling, assessment and referral service for all employees and their immediate family members at no cost. It’s designed to help them deal with any personal concerns, such as relationship issues, addiction or substance abuse, stress, grief, anxiety and depression. The program also includes financial support services and child-to-elder care support services, and in Canada an online wellness library and access to a registered nurse. The EAP is voluntary, confidential and run by local independent providers in countries where we operate.
• Feeling Better Now (FBN): Everyone’s mental health is as important as their physical health. That’s why TD offers FBN, a valuable online tool for early diagnosis and treatment of common mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety disorders and addiction. As well, FBN is helpful in removing the stigma and blame often associated with mental illnesses.
• Mental Health Week: TD sponsored Mental Health Week in May. We provided employees with tools on how to deal with stress and a guide for People Managers when dealing with employees with mental health issues.
• Communicable diseases: We provide online education, guidance and tools to assist our workforce regarding serious communicable diseases, such as malaria, AIDS, mononucleosis, hepatitis and tuberculosis. To prepare for a possible influenza pandemic, TD has preparedness plans in place, which are managed by our Infectious Diseases Council and Infectious Diseases Risk Committee. In the event of a pandemic, we will follow the guidelines provided by the World Health Organization and consider the directives given by governments and health sector advisories.
