BENEFITS We protect the health and safety of our employees and their families with a focus on their physical, mental, and financial well-being. We consider movement a key health promotion tool and encourage physical activity for our employees through the provision of standing and ergonomic desks, complimentary membership to the Empire State Building’s state-of-the art fitness center, an annual 30-day step challenge, and monthly activities hosted by our Athletics Committee. Through the promotion of flexible work and encouragement of health as a priority, we have created conditions for our people to thrive. We offer an Employee Assistance Program, a mental health counseling service to assist all corporate employees and their families with work or personal problems. This program also includes legal guidance and financial resources programs. Throughout the year, ESRT hosts financial seminars on topics such as first-time home purchase, retirement planning, life insurance, and financial acumen, along with a 1:1 financial consultation benefit. SAFETY AND SECURITY To keep our employees and tenants and their information safe at work, we have a designated crisis management team and cyber incident response team that meets regularly and conducts periodic tabletop training and simulations. We provide employee training on our safety measures and procedures for emergency situations. All employees are required to participate in on-site fire safety training, and all union employees are required to participate in first aid training provided by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
