Vermont Business Magazine The American Heart Association, a global force for longer, healthier lives for all, has awarded Community Bank Silver recognition in the 2024 Well-being Works Better Scorecard, representing a notable commitment to the health of its workforce and community.
Built on the Association’s 100-year history of saving and improving lives, the Scorecard brings together emerging research and input from leading experts to help employers create a healthy and effective work environment. Organizations can earn a recognition level of Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum based on their adherence to the Association’s science-backed recommended practices in areas such as health equity, burnout prevention, compensation and benefits, and more.
