2022 BENEFITS

The list of benefits available for Crescent Communities colleagues is expansive. Here are a few highlights:

• Childbirth and Bonding Policy: To ensure that our childbirth policy supported our colleagues equally, we eliminated the previous required one year waiting period, which extended this benefit to new hires.

• Maternity and Paternity Leave: We understand that childbirth is an important time for not only new moms, but new dads as well. We offer 12 weeks of paid maternity and paternity leave for our colleagues.

• Mental Health Support: Mental health and well-being are critical to health, happiness, and productivity. To enhance our promotion of mental health in the workplace and beyond, we enhanced our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) package to include additional sessions with professional therapists.

• Wellness Program: We increased our annual wellness subsidy to promote the reduction of health risks through mental health support applications. We also held a Workplace Burnout webinar to listen and share tools to help combat the situation. The WELL Platinum certification of our workplace highlights the many mental and physical well-being support measures that we incorporate in our daily practice at Crescent Communities.

• GO Day: In support of our company value, “Be Curious,” every full-time colleague is encouraged to take one “Get Outside” day off to visit a park, greenway, play a sport, take children on an outdoor adventure, or simply get creative exploring the outdoors.

• Summer Fridays: To encourage work-life balance, colleagues are encouraged to leave the office at 1 pm on Fridays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This allows colleagues to get a kick-start on their time away to relax and recharge.

• Education Support: In addition to supporting the continuing education requirements for related certifications, Crescent Communities offers educational reimbursement opportunities for colleagues wishing to further their education in related fields of study.

• Board Service Support: Colleagues are encouraged to serve the community and be involved with nonprofit organizations for which they are passionate. Crescent Communities offers financial support to qualified nonprofit organizations for which a colleague serves on a governing board.
