Groov-Pin Corp. makes fasteners and components – such as grooved pins and threaded inserts – for industries that include automotive, aerospace and telecommunications.
Its leaders know the proper components need to be in place for the 43 Smithfield employees to be healthy physically, mentally and financially.
While many companies may overlook the financial part of the picture when it comes to wellness, Groov-Pin is a pilot site for a financial-literacy program aimed at enriching employees’ knowledge.
Fiscal coaching is provided. Wellness-incentive dollars can be earned with things such as dental cleanings and blood-pressure checks. Health fairs offer wellness information.
At one such event, 30-year machinists with Groov-Pin were spotted doing yoga with a chiropractor on-site.
And if yoga isn’t a good fit? The company has its Walk to Wellness program, complete with challenges and prizes – an initiative that earned UnitedHealthcare recognition and which other companies have replicated.
A healthy thought:
‘We assist our employees to continually prioritize their physical, mental and financial health.’
Susan Smith, Human resource manager, Groov-Pin Corp.
