On behalf of the senior leadership team, I am excited to share a few thoughts with you about a new and exciting Stryker program.

As you know, People is one of our company’s four core values. One of the ways we are committed to supporting this value is by providing you with the very best resources to help with your overall wellbeing. Because of this, we’re excited to announce that Stryker has a new wellbeing program, Stryker Strive, which will begin on July 1.

Improving our wellbeing and staying healthy helps us all to be more productive and happy both at work and at home. With Stryker Strive, you can improve your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing and more. Along the way, we want you to have fun, connect with other Stryker employees and meet your personal goals.

In this newsletter, you’ll learn all about the different programs, opportunities and incentives that Stryker Strive provides. We hope that what you find here will inspire you to live your best life.

Thank you for all you do—and for your commitment to your health, your future and to making Stryker a great place to work.

Sincerely,

Steve Benscoter Vice President of Global HR

Don’t worry—your Wellness Assessment completion and credits from Live Well with Stryker automatically carry over to Stryker Strive. When you login to the new platform, you’ll see points for your completed Live Well with Stryker activities. Please Note: The date displayed in My Points > Points History will show that you completed the Live Well with Stryker Wellness Assessment on June 30, 2015, even if you took it on a different date. Stryker has recorded the actual date for your 2016 Wellness Credit!

No action required on your part.

We recommend you print your Live Well with Stryker Wellness Assessment results before June 30, 2015, if you would like to keep them for your records. We will credit you for your completed Wellness Assessment, but we won’t

transfer your results or keep them on file once the new program launches. Action: Print Live Well with Stryker Wellness Assessment results before June 30, 2015.

We encourage you to take the new Stryker Strive Wellbeing Assessment, even if you’ve already completed the previous Live Well with Stryker Wellness Assessment. Your results will help you understand your overall health and wellbeing, and the platform will highlight your top strengths and opportunities for improvement so you can choose activities that make the most sense for you.

As always, your data is completely confidential. Your individual results are never shared with others, including Stryker.
