Rhode Island’s largest community bank, Westerly-based The Washington Trust Co., resolutely believes that promoting employee health is best for business – and for people.

“It helps the workforce – lowering absenteeism and health care insurance costs – when people are leading a healthy lifestyle,” said Elizabeth Musgrave, assistant vice president of human resources. “Our employees are the most important thing to us.”

To that end, Washington Trust employees enjoy an offering of diverse wellness programs designed to accommodate varying interests. Programs include those on weight loss, exercise, relaxation and financial wellness. Employees receive discounts on medical insurance determined by their participation in programs. The employee with the most participation points also wins a personal day.

Programs are reviewed annually to identify health issues employees may need help with. •
