Photo by Shannon Diecidue FIVE-TIME H O N O R E E Gilsbar Choosing to spend more time with a newborn can often mean opting out of the work force. But for Gilsbar employee Wendy King, motherhood and working was a win-win game. Twelve weeks after the birth of now 2-yearold Grey, King took her dilemma to Doug Layman, Gilsbar executive vice president and chief sales and marketing officer, explaining her desire to spend more time at home. “It was a scary thing to come back in and have that conversation. I was just kind of thinking I might have to leave,” King recalled. “It was funny that he even anticipated this would come up. There’s still a place for me here, which is incredible.” Gilsbar temporarily gave King a position that required only 32 hours a week. She eventually transferred back to her old job once Grey started preschool. King believes Gilsbar accommodated her because the company appreciates good talent. It’s that kind of consideration that workers say keeps Gilsbar rated as a top employer. Executive Assistant Monique Jacobs said Gilsbar proved its character just by hiring her after she had been out of the work force for 15 years. “I feel like they took a chance on me because I had never worked, particularly as an administrative assistant,” Jacobs said. “The qualities (Layman) was looking for, he was able to see that I possessed them in a personal interview. They really hire with excellence.” Gilsbar puts a lot of energy into maintaining a healthy work force. Jacobs is a member of the committee that manages the company’s wellness program, a benefit that rewards employees with “wellness bucks” as an incentive to live healthy lifestyles. Employees can redeem their wellness bucks in a number of ways, including contributions to their health savings or flexible spending accounts. The program enabled Executive Underwriter Lynn Trainor to quit smoking after 40 years. Gilsbar allowed Trainor to enroll in a smoking cessation program through St. Tammany Nature of business: insurance administration Where based: Covington Employees: 323 Average starting salary: $46,184 Median salary: $36,400 Average employment time: six and a half years Benefits: health care with 55 percent coverage, 401(k) with 3 percent match, dental, vision, prescriptions, continuing education program, relocation assistance, telecommuting, flexible hours, job sharing, employee recognition program Wait time for benefits: 30 days Paid days off: 23 on average Web site: www.gilsbar.com Parish Hospital, paying all costs and providing weekly support meetings on company time. “This is not something that they needed to do. That’s my personal addiction. It has nothing to do with Gilsbar,” she said. “It just promotes good employee relations.” Trainor has been a nonsmoker for two years now. “I quit, which is to me a miracle because I smoked for 40 years,” she said. Trainor earned bonus wellness bucks for her success, as well as kudos from superiors. She plans to redeem her wellness bucks to buy a pair of walking shoes and will enroll in the company-offered Weight Watchers group next year.• — Diana Chandler 22 2009 Best Places to Work
