Popular
believes
that
the
health
and
financial
wellness
of
our
employees
is
essential
to
effectively
serve
our
customers
and 
contribute
positively
to the
communities
where we
operate.
Our health
and wellness
program includes
health, pharmacy,
vision 
and dental
insurance,
as well
as other
wellness
initiatives.
Our programs
seek to
ensure that
healthcare
is both

affordable
for our
employees,
with Popular
covering
up to
80% of
health
insurance
premiums,
a figure
that

regional 
benchmarks.
In
2024,
we
prioritized
mental
health
by
emphasizing
the
importance
of
addressing
our
employees’
emotional 
needs
and
launching
an
internal
campaign
featuring
short
videos
on
wellness.
We
also
shared
valuable
information
on
the 
importance
of
sleep
hygiene.
Additionally,
the
Corporation
promotes
employee
health
and
wellbeing
by
encouraging
annual 
physical
exams and
maintaining
a health
and wellness
center
at its
Puerto
Rico-based
corporate
offices
staffed
with healthcare 
providers,
where
employees
can
complete
their
physical
exam,
receive
acute
care
or visit
a nutritionist
or
psychologist
free
of

and wellness center
received over
15,561 visits
from employees
during 2024.
Popular
also seeks
to foster
work-life
balance by
