Wellness In the road building and heavy construction industry
You’ve worked hard to make your job sites physically safe. But creating a truly healthy workplace
doesn’t end there. Mental health, physical fitness, and inclusive and respectful workplaces help
employees bring their best selves to work every day.
Promoting employee well-being and a healthy workplace culture can be especially challenging in the
road building and heavy construction industry, with its irregular hours and multiple and sometimes
remote job sites. Many workers still fit the “strong silent” profile and may not find it easy to open up
about mental wellness-related issues.
BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association’s Workplace Wellness Program is designed to
create lasting workplace culture change, with benefits for both employers and employees.
The program is available, free-of-charge, to all BCRB & HCA member companies.
Our long-standing commitment to the road building and heavy construction industry gives us a deep and
unique understanding of the business and your workforce. With a proven track record in supporting our
members, we have extensive and highly-relevant expertise.
