International Stress Awareness Week

 “You can’t build strong structures without strong people.” Taking care of your mind is essential.

 As part of International Stress Awareness Week, Ellie visited the site to meet with operatives and site managers for a focused wellbeing session. Construction work is demanding, and while some stress is expected, unmanaged stress can affect health, concentration, and safety.

The session encouraged staff to step back from daily pressures, discuss shared challenges, and explore practical ways to manage work-related stress. Wellbeing materials and guidance were provided to ensure everyone is aware of the support available.

A strong turnout from both operatives and managers demonstrated the site’s commitment to fostering a healthy, supportive working environment.

Stress affects everyone real strength is speaking up and looking out for others. If you see a colleague struggling, start the conversation.
