ANNUAL BANK INCENTIVE (ABI)

The Group Insurance Trust has distributed nearly $175,000 to participating banks as part of this year’s Annual Bank Incentive. Awards are determined based upon the number of subscribers who have successfully earned enough to complete the program. The higher the participation, the more significant the incentive— it’s our way of saying thank you for promoting a culture of wellness at your bank.

Our unique program encourages preventative doctor visits and dental checkups, educational workshop attendance, improved nutrition, and participation in fitness challenges. By engaging in these activities, employees build healthy habits that decrease the likelihood of chronic health conditions.
