Promoting Health and Well-Being
Supporting the well-being of our employees is essential to our safety culture. We champion healthy lifestyles and offer resources encouraging our employees to put their health first.
Comprehensive Health & Well-Being Program:
- Preventive care
- Physical health benefits
- Mental health support
- Work-life integration
Competitive Health Benefits
Across the company, employees are offered preventive programs and are incentivized to complete an annual screening for common health-related issues.
We offer competitive medical and dental benefits to employees and their eligible dependents who enroll. These benefits include a health savings account or flexible spending account and a Teladoc membership, allowing employees to connect in minutes with a board-certified physician.
Recognizing Mental Health Needs
Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a foundational component of our benefits package, supporting our employees’ emotional and mental wellness.
All employees have access to our EAP from the first day of employment, regardless of their health insurance plan. Employees and their dependents each receive eight free, confidential counseling sessions per year.
Our EAP also provides referrals to help employees and their families cope with different life stages and challenges, such as prenatal planning, child or elder care, financial guidance and resources and legal support. It also provides access to self-care library for help with sleep, meditation and stress-relief and an eLearning platform to build strategies to help improve well-being.
Supporting Well-Being
Chesapeake offers programs and policies to promote job satisfaction and help employees manage stress. These training initiatives provide employees with the tools, techniques and skills to navigate emotions with confidence and positive results.
Also, we offer employees a personal well-being day every year. We encourage employees to use this additional floating holiday to pause, relax and recharge whenever it’s needed most during the year.
Work-Life Integration
We believe that workplace flexibility helps optimize professional success and gives our employees added time and energy for life’s responsibilities. Our “Work for Your Day” policy, as described more in the Social section, empowers employees to choose their work locations based on their department needs, workloads and schedule.
Supporting Families
Through our inclusive benefits, Chesapeake focuses on supporting our working parents and employees who want to expand their families.
- Parental Leave: We offer up to four weeks of paid parental leave for all employees. This is in addition to the short-term disability benefit available to birth mothers.
- Adoption Assistance: The company covers $20,000 in qualified adoption expenses and offers paternity leave to adoptive parents.
- On-Site Childcare: On our corporate campus, Chesapeake offers one of the only employer-sponsored childcare facilities in the state. With more than 63,000 square feet of inspired early childhood learning and development, the building is just steps away from our employees’ offices.
- Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account: Employees may contribute tax-free to a flexible spending account for expenses related to caring for children under the age of 13 and/or disabled dependents of any age.
- Child Care / Elder Care Referral: EAP offers a free, confidential referral service to research and advise on child and elder care.
