COWORKER WELL-BEING
PROGRAM
We are committed to fostering a workplace culture that
empowers coworkers to adopt healthy habits and maintain
optimal well-being. Through a comprehensive and evolving
well-being program, we provide a diverse array of resources that
support physical, mental and financial health.
A key driver of our success is our network of Wellness Champions
across each market. These dedicated coworkers serve as
advocates and organizers of local initiatives that promote
engagement and connection. In 2025, Wellness Championled activities included walking clubs, healthy cooking
demonstrations, National Walking Day events, hydration
challenges, cornhole tournaments, Earth Day community cleanups and on-site chair massage events—creating accessible and
meaningful opportunities for coworkers to prioritize their health.
Our Tampa Wellness Champions hosted the Mobile
Mammogram Bus at Truist Place for both employees and
customers. The property management team partnered with
one of the building customers, TopShelf Sports Bar, who
provided a coupon for free tater tots for the employees and
customers who received a mammogram (and yes, their tots
are worth getting a mammogram)!
WELLNESS INCENTIVES PROGRAM
70%
In 2025, 70% of enrolled
coworkers completed
preventative screenings,
well above the Cigna
business average
of 38%.
We partner with Cigna to deliver a robust Wellness Incentives
Program that encourages healthy behaviors. Coworkers can
earn incentives by completing preventive care screenings,
participating in health coaching, syncing wearable devices,
engaging in wellness challenges and completing personalized
health assessments—supporting both physical and mental
well-being. Together, these initiatives reflect our ongoing
commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive environment
where coworkers can thrive both personally and professionally.
FINANCIAL WELLNESS
Financial well-being is another important pillar of our program. In collaboration with CAPTRUST financial advisors, we offer
annual group and one-on-one sessions to help coworkers better understand 401(k) investments and plan for their financial
futures. Additional resources, including digital tools and on-demand webinars through Charles Schwab, further support informed
financial decision-making. As of December 31, 2025, 93.4% of employees were actively contributing to the 401(k) plan, reflecting
strong engagement in long-term financial wellness.
