Construction can be a rewarding and varied industry to work in. But it’s also one where pressures can be high, and people can be more likely than average to experience work-related stress and other mental health issues. For employees, it often hasn’t felt easy to come forward, mention that something’s wrong or ask a colleague to talk.
But things are changing. Disten has identified that a healthy mind leads to happier workforce and we are starting to see our staff’s mental health as a priority.
Elaine Cummings from Disten has recently completed Mental Health awareness Training and she is now acting as the company’s mental health awareness champion.
