This quarter, Cary continued to partner with WakeMed to offer on-site clinics for the COVID-19 vaccination as well as the booster. More than 24 employees elected to be vaccinated, further contributing to higher than average vaccination rates. Cary also ceased on-site COVID-19 testing in response to low case counts.
Chat and Chew
With the addition of new staff within the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Cary kicked off a new employee engagement initiative called Chat and Chew. This ongoing opportunity allows employee engagement in smaller group discussions about current affairs and other topics through a DEI lens. The first of these lunchtime discussions included about 30 employees and focused on recent news in the NFL pertaining to racial discrimination in hiring practices.
Taking Care of Employees
More than 300 employees participated in a variety of internal Cary programs geared toward physical, financial, and mental well-being, including the popular post-holiday Choose to Lose Challenge and two virtual pre-retirement seminars. By meeting employees where they are with programmatic variety, Cary supports a positive investment in holistic health.
