On World Mental Health Day, Legendre UK is once again embracing the opportunity to highlight the importance of mental health in the workplace. This year’s theme, Workplace Mental Health, resonates strongly with our commitment to fostering a supportive and open environment across all our sites. Mental health should not be taken lightly, especially in the construction industry, where balancing demanding work schedules and well-being can be a real challenge.
Over the years, the teams have worked hard to promote mental health and well-being and support each and every employee, through various initiatives implemented. From providing access to professional support, to offering resources for anyone in need, Legendre is committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels safe to speak up and seek help. Creating a supportive and open environment is something we all play a part in.
On 10th October, memo cardswith useful contacts will be distributed on-site, along with toolbox talks to encourage open discussionsabout mental health. A special thank you to Paula Calisan and Cécilia Lemaire for their incredible work in organising these toolbox talks and leading various mental health initiatives over the years.
To further raise awareness, on 12th October, 10 of our employees will take on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge.Covering 39km and 1,585m of ascent, this challenge is not only a physical feat but also a way to support Mind, a charity dedicated to mental health.
