Employee Health & Well-being

At BKM, we are committed to the health and well-being of our employees. Our initiatives include corporate-sponsored pickleball and basketball leagues, team tournaments, and a variety of other wellness events throughout the year. We support physical health by encouraging healthy habits, providing ergonomic office furniture, and offering nutritious snacks. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) enhances mental health with resources such as counseling, stress management training, and family support groups. We foster a positive work environment through open communication and community-building activities. By prioritizing employee well-being, we reduce absenteeism, boost productivity, and attract top talent. Additionally, we promote sustainability by encouraging eco-friendly practices and extend our culture of wellness to our employees' families and local communities.

Empowering Women

We created the BKM Women’s Network in 2022 to support women at BKM through mentorship, community and educational events. BKM provides ongoing support, inspiration, and opportunities to connect, share, learn and lead.

BKM tracks metrics such as employee demographics, women and minority owned businesses in our tenant base, and looks to track the impact of our philanthropic efforts on increasing social equity.
