In December, Cary recognized more than 185 employees for reaching 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of service, representing a collective 2,455 years. Commemorative slideshows were broadcast on Cary’s intranet and at facilities. Honorees were presented with a plaque and/or gift to recognize their service longevity. Departments held gatherings to celebrate all their employees, and a virtual accomplishments and kudos board captured many proud and thankful postings for work well done throughout 2022.

Employees are the most valuable resource, and Cary strives to offer the most competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits, meeting employees where they are and rewarding for excellence. This quarter, Cary produced a Total Compensation Statement that outlined each employee’s base salary, benefits provided, and the value of their total compensation. Education and awareness further embody our value of People First. In a further effort to support employees, Cary offered four financial wellness webinars as well as four CPR classes that served 55 employees.

In an effort to remain on top of the arc and support employee health and well-being, Cary evolved its existing Healthy Rewards program to include an annual physical. With 97% completion, Cary doubled its percentage of employees getting a physical and is well above the 50% industry standard for similar program participation. Cary continues to take care of its best and brightest while strategically managing healthcare costs.
