Building a Healthier, Safer Workforce
Wellbeing is central to how we look after our teams. We want people to feel supported, able to speak up early and confident that help is easy to access. Our approach combines practical resources, trained support and everyday habits that make a real difference at work and beyond.
To build a healthy workforce, we take a proactive, three-tiered approach
- How we support wellbeing
Protecting mental and physical health
Our approach brings together practical innovation, sustainability and social value to deliver infrastructure that performs well and supports the places it serves. We focus on long-term outcomes, responsible decision-making and doing the right thing for people, communities and environments connected to our work.
Prevent (Culture)
We promote working practices and everyday behaviours that support mental and physical wellbeing, helping reduce stress, fatigue and risk before issues arise.
Promote (Awareness)
We build understanding through training, communication and visible resources so people know what support is available and feel able to speak up early.
Provide (Intervention)
We ensure access to confidential, practical support including trained Mental Health First Aiders, counselling services and specialist advice when needed.
- Mental health support
Confidential help, trained support and people you can talk to
We provide a range of mental health resources so colleagues can access the right support at the right time, whether they’re dealing with work-related pressures or challenges outside of work.
Confidential counselling service
All employees have access to a free, independent and confidential counselling helpline. Support is available for issues including bereavement, family concerns, financial stress, anxiety and workplace challenges.
Mental Health First Aiders
We have trained Mental Health First Aiders across the business, many available across extended hours. Contact details are displayed across sites and offices, and conversations are always confidential.
