DeWITT — The American Heart Association (AHA) recently awarded Community Bank N.A. its silver recognition in the 2024 Well-being Works Better Scorecard, honoring the bank’s commitment to the health of its workforce and the community, the bank announced.
The Scorecard honors organizations at four levels — bronze, silver, gold, or platinum — based on their adherence to the AHA’s recommended practices in areas including health equity, burnout prevention, compensation and benefits, and more.
The association recognized Community Bank for its commitment to “promoting and sustaining a healthy work culture that empowers employees to reach their full potential.” This is the first year the bank completed the Well-being Works Better Scorecard, which evaluates factors such as leadership support, organizational policies and environment, community partnerships, and health equity. Evaluation results provided insights into areas where the bank is excelling while also identifying areas in need of improvement.
“We’re proud to recognize organizations like Community Bank that have made bold moves to build workplaces where everyone can thrive,” American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown said in a statement. “By completing the Well-being Works Better Scorecard, these leaders have shown an incredible dedication to the health of their businesses and communities, and their contributions are helping us bring to fruition a world of longer, healthier lives for all.”
The Well-being Works Better Scorecard helps leaders assess their health and well-being strategy based on leading best practices. Upon completion, organizations receive access to a results dashboard with industry benchmarking data and resources for continued learning and improvement.
“Our employees are the heart of our culture, and we know that when they’re healthy, our business is, too,” Community Bank Chief Human Resource and Administration Officer Maureen Gillan-Myer said. “The Scorecard gives us an in-depth look at our well-being strategy with valuable insights to help us best support our workforce and stay competitive among our peers.”
Community Bank is the banking subsidiary of Community Financial System Inc. (NYSE: CBU) and operates about 200 branches across New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
