We are delighted to launch the WTW Construction Blueprints podcast series and have dedicated our first episode to mental health in the industry. Did you know that the number one reason people don’t seek help is because of stigma and fear of judgement by peers? Mental health should be a priority across all industries, but due to the nature of the construction sector it ranks as the second highest in suicide rates among major industries. Traditional industry risk control efforts focus entirely on physical loss and greatly ignore mental health. Safety professionals in the construction industry can create and foster a culture that puts psychological safety first.
