Workplace Wellbeing at Carey Group

With an estimated one in six people within the construction industry likely to experience some form of mental health issue this year, one of our clients Carey Group decided to take the all-important step of learning more about the effects of stress and other mental health factors in the workplace. The Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality Team at Careys were particularly keen to develop their skills to help them recognise the symptoms and causes of stress, and to explore ways of increasing resilience levels to deal with workplace demands more effectively. ORL Director Ann Pemberton delivered our new ‘Mental Health Awareness for Managers’ programme and also introduced the team to our ‘Fit for Purpose’ programme which looks at ways of increasing personal and team resilience levels. The workshop proved to be a resounding success and follow-up events are now planned to take place in April. We will bring news of these in due course!
