The Importance of Mental Health Wellness

The health and well-being of our colleagues has and continues to be a top priority. We understand our colleagues have important matters to attend to outside of work, this is why we encourage them to take time away from work when they need it. With generous paid time-off packages and flexible schedules, our colleagues do not have to be concerned with using up their PTO on unexpected personal matters. 

In addition to generous PTO packages and flexible schedules, Cavignac offers robust medical coverage that helps cover the costs associated with medical expenses, including therapy. It is important we provide our colleagues with the resources they need to thrive both at work and at home. As a knowledge-based organization, we are continuously educating ourselves and our colleagues on ways they can improve personally and professionally. Our wellness committee is committed to educating our colleagues on healthy habits and trends that they can implement into their daily lives. Some examples include company-led hikes, sharing of healthy recipes and wellness competitions that encourage our colleagues to spend more time outside and prioritizing their mental health. 

While we hope our colleagues do not face situations that require them to spend time away from work due to the loss of a loved one, it is important that we provide them the support they need in such a situation. This is why we provide all colleagues with 40 hours of Bereavement leave should they need it. Our hope is this time away allows them the time to process and heal during this time of loss while feeling supported by their place of work. 

Lastly, we have always prided ourselves and encouraged our colleagues to maintain a high level of industry knowledge in order to better serve our clients. In recent years, we implemented the Cavignac Audible Program which encourages our colleagues to expand their expertise on topics relating to professional and personal development. With access to a number of premium titles, our colleagues have the opportunity to expand their industry knowledge and educate themselves on ways to improve their mental health in order to show up as their best selves each day.
