BIOMETRIC SCREENINGS are the cornerstone of Pawtucket Credit Union’s wellness program.
Employees are encouraged either to undergo a screening with their own physician, or they can attend a biometric screening event at work. Knowing data such as blood pressure and cholesterol readings has allowed the company to provide information and resources that will address their health needs.
And it doesn’t end there.
The credit union offers exercise classes in collaboration with local gym 212 Health & Performance, ergonomic workplace options, standing/walking desks, a relaxation room, lactation areas and on-site massages. In addition, tobacco cessation and mental health programs, paid time off to volunteer and financial evaluations are available.
A regular offering is the “lunch and learn,” a chance to attend a seminar on specific health topics while eating lunch during the workday. Discussions on memory and aging, parenting teens and young adults, and Social Security and Medicare benefits proved very popular.
