Under the umbrella of the Impact2032 Plan, Kennebec Savings Bank (KSB) has strategically woven the plan’s vision for health into its corporate culture, fostering an environment that prioritizes physical and mental well-being.
KSB’s Wellness Program: Nurturing a Healthy Workforce
Recognizing the pivotal role of exercise, healthy diets, and smoking cessation, KSB has rolled out a comprehensive wellness program, in which employees are given access to a wide host of tools, including health surveys and personalized wellness goals. To provide support and incentive, the Bank offers a $250 fitness reimbursement for cardio-centric memberships, complemented by a $150 wellness reimbursement through insurance.
Health Benefits Beyond the Basics
The commitment to health extends into the Bank’s benefits package. Employees enjoy a robust health benefits package that includes a wellness app linking to step-tracking devices, fostering friendly physical activity competitions. The Bank also provides access to physical and behavioral health care, substance use recovery services, and dental care for employees and their families.
Community Engagement and Safety Awareness
Beyond its corporate walls, KSB is making strides in community health. Through funding and volunteer efforts, the Bank supports organizations promoting healthy behaviors and wellness services for all ages. Simultaneously, the Bank takes pride in being a community safety advocate, with CPR/First Aid training for employees and Automated External Defibrillators strategically placed in branch lobbies.
Investing in Employee Well-being
KSB covers 90% of health insurance costs for full-time employees and 75% for part-time staff, demonstrating a commitment to employees’ financial and physical health. Additionally, internal trainings equip employees with knowledge on personal safety during unforeseen events, fostering a sense of security.
Through these efforts, KSB aims to make a positive impact on its employees and communities alike. The Bank remains dedicated to fostering a healthier, safer, and more engaged workforce that aligns with the evolving needs of the Kennebec Valley region.
