First National Bank’s new parenting seminars—which cover potty training, grocery store tantrums and sibling fights—help moms handle behavioral issues.

Racing to the top floor of company headquarters may not be everyone’s ideal day off, but for moms at this Omaha-based financial services firm, the annual Trek to the Top is just another way in which their employer highlights its commitment to healthy living. Changing lives daily is the myhealthIQ program, which provides employees with medical assessments, wellness exams and customized reports that help stave off or diminish illness; on-site gyms and a 12-week weightloss program further whip them into shape. The impact has been so profound that one third of participants once deemed high-risk for health problems no longer are, while half of all former smokers here have quit. With myhealthIQ’s insight, work/life officers are able to target their health offerings to meet employee needs, leading to the introduction of skin cancer screenings and quarterly mammograms. Also cool: The firm offers subsidized national backup care and on-site child care at its headquarters.
