Becoming One of America's Healthiest Places to Work

In addition to offerings for medical, dental and vision, and Total Rewards, the firm’s approach to wellness extends well beyond that – from chronic condition management, support navigating healthcare options, managing financial planning, and helping children who have challenges at school. A few additional highlights include:
- Award-winning Genuine Care mental health awareness program established to help break the stigma surrounding mental health and better meet the needs of employees, craft workforce and families. In 2022, the firm is expanding its employee assistance program (EAP) offering to provide care for emotional and mental health how, when, and where our employees and their families need it through enhanced coaching, therapy and self-care resources. An interactive online wellness portal offers educational resources and wellness incentives to make participation easy and engaging, including medical premium reductions.
- Financial coaching and resources
- Local wellness activities and events to support personal goals and help build healthier communities
- Local volunteer opportunities through McCarthy’s Heart Hats programs, which support our communities
