The Freshwater Trust wants to assure you that it is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.

The Freshwater Trust follows the CDC’s guidance to help employees and their families lower their risk of contracting and spreading a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, including COVID-19, flu, and RSV. We encourage all employees to get flu and COVID-19 vaccines and to stay home and away from others if they have respiratory virus symptoms.

Full-time office attendance is not required, and it is understood that employees are likely to have a hybrid schedule of in-office and at-home work. Schedules will continue to be flexible to accommodate our employees’ preferred working environment.

The Freshwater Trust believes in investing in our employees, their health, and their future through our benefits offerings. Our total rewards package includes health and dental coverage, automatic employer retirement contributions, and cell phone reimbursement.
