Fitness/wellness program: Employees at Origin (formerly called Community Trust Bank) earn wellness points by participating in a variety of activities, such as 5K races and wellness exams. Those with high scores receive gift cards.

Bonus/incentive program: Each department creates their own goals, and annual bonuses — usually ranging from 4% to 20% of an employee's salary — are calculated based on meeting those goals.

Communication tool/practice: An intranet newsletter includes a "Caption This" section, where employees add descriptions to funny pictures, and a brag board, where co-workers can praise someone's good work.
