Commitment to Employees
As an employer, Central 1 promotes a healthy workplace and well-rounded lifestyles for employees.
- Central 1 offers an extensive benefits program, including extended health and dental benefits, low-interest employee mortgages and matched pension contributions.
- Our Lifestyle Incentive program encourages staff at all levels to earn points for community and volunteer work and for physical fitness activities. Employees convert their points into cash as they reach specified increments. Their achievements, particularly in community service, are also recognized at staff meetings and in corporate publications. As well, Central 1 provides subsidized fitness facilities at both of its locations.
- Central 1 sponsors a volunteer Staff Association that invites staff from all levels to participate. The association reports directly to management about employee concerns, organizes social functions and proposes fundraising and other initiatives.
- In addition to extended medical, dental and other insurances, Central 1 offers an Employee and Family Assistance Program that delivers professional, confidential counselling on personal issues.
- Other employee programs provide free computer and technical training and funding for higher education and professional development.
- Consistent with our values-based culture, Central 1 is a dedicated member of its communities and holds fundraising initiatives each year for the United Way, local food banks and other community-based organizations.
