Engaging Team Members. Enhancing Our Workplace.

We’re working hard to create an inclusive, engaging workplace. Here’s how:

Supporting our team members' unique needs

Through our Total Rewards program, we strive to provide essential benefits that enable our team members and their families to thrive. Our comprehensive benefits offerings encompass physical, mental, social and emotional health. These benefits are a testament to our belief in the importance of promoting work-life balance and creating a healthy, fulfilling workplace for all Southwire team members.

Promoting musculoskeletal health

Our partnership with Hinge Health has enabled us to support the physical and emotional health of 163 team members in 2023. The new benefit focused on musculoskeletal health in 2023, enabling team members to complete virtual physical therapy sessions, resulting in both pain reduction and reduction of the need for surgery.

Bringing mental health to the forefront

Through our partnership with Spring Health—a leading mental health and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider—we expanded access for our team members and their household family members to comprehensive mental health support. The additional benefits include therapy, coaching, support from a care navigator, work-life services and an on-demand library of mental well-being exercises. At the end of our first year offering this benefit, our team member utilization rate achieved a historically high rate for our mental health offerings.

Extended bonding time for families

Eligible mothers now receive 12 work weeks for parental bonding and recovery time after giving birth, while eligible fathers can take up to four work weeks of paid paternity leave. These benefits are a testament to our belief in the importance of promoting work-life balance and creating a healthy, fulfilling workplace for all Southwire team members.
