In addition to our benefits, we provide many optional health and wellness programs to all full-time employees, including the following:
Lifestyle Benefit supports employees’ individual needs at all phases of their lives. We recently enhanced our benefits to include lifestyle benefit funds, which can be used on a wide range of products and services throughout the year to help employees maintain and improve their health, wealth and wellbeing. These include, but are not limited to:
• Fertility treatments and adoptions
• Student debt and loan reimbursement
• Financial advisors and education
• Legal assistance
• Athletic equipment and memberships
• Nutritional supplements
• Personal trainers and fitness trackers
• Annual park passes
• Counseling
• Personal development
Telehealth provides 24/7/365 health care services for common illnesses. Employees have access to a doctor by phone or video chat on the MDLive mobile application and can have prescriptions sent to their preferred pharmacy. We also enhanced MDLive services to include mental health and therapy services at no extra cost.
Employee Assistance Program enables employees to seek assistance for various needs, such as childcare resources, debt management, retirement planning, grief and loss counseling and mental health resources. It also includes on-site employee support for critical instances that can occur such as an employee death or serious illness.
Medicare Transition Service enables employees to consult with an expert to determine which Medicare service best suits their needs. The Medicare Transition Service is available for employees who are nearing retirement themselves (65 years and older) and for family members, including spouses, parents or grandparents, who are living in their household. The service is flexible to employee schedules, offering consultations over the phone so that employees can easily access the service.
We also have a financial wellness website where we feature videos regarding topics that are important to our employees, such as paying off student debt, budgeting and buying a home versus renting.
CMC appreciates that mental wellbeing is a priority. Our Human Resources (HR) Department has offered seminars and resources that can help employees with mental wellbeing just as we have done for physical wellness. Our safety personnel partner with HR to support these initiatives by serving as the “eyes and ears” among our employees and identifying those that may need some assistance or intervention with their mental health.
At our CMC Poland operations, we have offered employees and their families private medical care plans that exceed public healthcare requirements since 2016. As required by Polish law, CMC Poland maintains a social benefit fund dedicated to promoting work-life balance. We distribute this funding to employees for co-financing holidays, summer camps for children, sports activities, cultural events and other wellness activities. The fund also provides financial aid to employees experiencing serious illnesses in their families or other unexpected life events. In addition to these benefits, CMC Poland provides social security, retirement savings and life insurance plans.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CMC began offering flexible working schedules to keep our people safe and help them balance the new challenges they face. Due to the success we experienced with employees working at home, flexible working hours have become a permanent option for employees moving forward.
