NORWAY — Norway Savings Bank has been presented with a gold-level Well Workplace Award by the Wellness Council of America. The award distinguishes Norway Savings Bank as one of the healthiest companies in America.

WELCOA’s Well Workplace Awards initiative is driven by a rigorous set of criteria. The Gold Award recognizes those companies that have successfully built comprehensive work site wellness initiatives and are demonstrating and capturing concrete outcomes related to behavior change, productivity, cost effectiveness, and return on investment.

In 2010, Norway Savings Bank introduced a one-on-one, behavior based wellness program with Occupational Medical Consultants. Through OMC’s wellness program, bank employees meet with a dedicated health coach throughout the year to complete a health risk assessment and on-site biometric screening, as well as to set and track personal health and wellness goals. Norway Savings Bank also has a safety and wellness committee that is dedicated to making the bank a safer and healthier workplace through new and ongoing objectives geared toward employee education, awareness, intervention and results.
