Construction workers experience higher rates of anxiety, depression and burnout than the general population. This is the stress problem nobody talks about.
In this episode, Greg Jennings discusses why builders and small business owners face unique mental health challenges, from financial pressure and long hours to the responsibility of leading a team. He explains why looking after yourself is one of the smartest business decisions you can make.
Learn how to recognise the early warning signs of burnout, practical ways to manage stress, build healthy resilience, and create a workplace culture where people feel comfortable speaking up and supporting one another. Greg also explores the link between mental wellbeing, business performance and team culture, and shares why it's never too early to seek support or start a conversation.
Better businesses start with better mental health.
People in the construction industry are six times more likely to die by suicide as they are to die in a workplace accident. As a business owner or mate on a construction site, you're often best placed to recognise when someone in your team isn't acting like themselves. That can be the perfect opportunity to start a conversation.Greg Jennings
