Are your employees happy? How do you keep your teams mentally and physically healthy?
President Theodore Roosevelt once said: "Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care".
The health and well-being of workers is rarely a topic of conversation. When it does come up, it's usually about safety and occupational health. In an industry like construction, where the physical and mental strain is higher than in most other industries, Roosevelt's words hit the mark.
Health and wellbeing in the construction industry is not talked about regularly enough, and when it is, it's usually about general safety and prevention. That's part of it, of course, but the mental health and wellbeing of individual workers is often overlooked. However, it's important that you look after your employees so that they feel safe, valued and happy - which in turn reduces the number of workplace accidents and increases morale, efficiency and profitability.
