Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of workplace wellness programs, enhances its partnership with Turner Construction by expanding its Wellness Trailer 2.0© program to new locations in and around Texas.

BOSTON, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mental health and overall well-being in the construction industry are emerging concerns across the nation, with suicide rates at four to five times the national average. Construction work can be a demanding routine, with long work hours, seasonal conditions, delayed work schedules, and limited time off. This combination can lead to elevated levels of stress and anxiety and contribute to chronic health conditions, premature illness, and even death.

Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of workplace wellness programs, enhances its partnership with Turner Construction by expanding its Wellness Trailer 2.0© program to new locations in and around Texas. Headquartered in New York City, Turner Construction, the largest builder in the US, is a North American-based, international construction services company with a staff of 10,000 that completes 1,500 construction projects each year.

"Our onsite Industrial Athletic Trainer and wellness team from Wellness Workdays have been instrumental in helping employees adopt realistic and positive lifestyle changes, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive," said Ian Smith, EH&S Director at Turner Construction Company.

"We are thrilled to see this partnership evolve and continue to innovate around building a better future for all construction workers and trades," said Debra Wein, CEO & Founder of Wellness Workdays. "As we pair our strategic programming with a Certified Industrial Athletic Trainer to manage onsite injuries and provide behavioral health and wellness coaching, we are committed to fostering a safe, productive, and resilient workforce that reimagines employee well-being as both necessary and attainable."

The new regional partnership between Turner Construction and Wellness Workdays was established in Texas in January 2024 with one site, serving over 300 workers. The multi-pronged approach includes one-on-one behavioral health and wellness coaching, injury prevention and management, preventative screenings, and telehealth. Stand-downs, table talks, toolbox talks around relevant health and wellness topics, and daily targeted mental and physical prep sessions are additional components of the program.

"The construction industry is inherently demanding, often causing physical stress and burnout among workers. Addressing these issues is vital, and our wellness program is effectively doing so," said Ian Smith, EH&S (Environmental Health & Safety) Director at Turner Construction Company. "Our onsite Industrial Athletic Trainer and wellness team from Wellness Workdays have been instrumental in helping employees adopt realistic and positive lifestyle changes, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It is heartening to see how our partnership with Wellness Workdays is meeting this crucial need, preventing chronic conditions, and fostering a healthier, more productive workforce. 96% of the workforce is currently engaging in the program."

The wellness program has been met with openness from employees since its inception. Over 1,000 blood pressure screenings have been completed along with over 200 combined cholesterol and blood glucose screenings. In tandem with these screenings, the Industrial Athletic Trainer works with employees to support realistic, positive mental and physical lifestyle changes. The wellness program addresses and aims to prevent several chronic conditions through a strategic and comprehensive approach. along with access and referrals to outside resources.

Hear from one of the participants: "I would like to express my profound gratitude for the health coaching and onsite wellness program provided at my jobsite. The Health Coach was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and professional. His approach to health coaching was both empathetic and insightful, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood throughout the process," says a health coaching participant. "Every aspect of the program was designed to address my unique needs and challenges. The emotional support and encouragement I received played a crucial role in maintaining my motivation and commitment to my health goals. I just want to say thank you so much for being supportive of us, the workers."
