Porteous Groundworks, a leader in the building industry, is sponsoring the “From Strength to Strength” Men’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Conference, demonstrating a commitment to employee well-being that extends beyond self-care. This sponsorship highlights a critical need in workplace wellness programs: moving beyond individual self-care and focusing on systemic change.
Beyond Self-Care: A Holistic Approach to Well-being
Often, workplace wellness programs focus on individual actions like mindfulness or exercise. While important, these self-care strategies place the onus on employees to manage stress resulting from potentially unhealthy work environments. Porteous Groundworks recognizes that true well-being requires a more comprehensive approach. They are setting a standard by prioritizing employee support systems that address the root causes of workplace stress, fostering a culture of well-being that goes beyond surface-level solutions.

By investing in employee well-being, they demonstrate that a healthy workforce contributes directly to business success.
Creating a Culture of Support: The Impact of Comprehensive Wellness
Porteous Groundworks believes in fostering a work environment that promotes work-life balance, boosts morale, and builds an inclusive and supportive culture. This commitment goes beyond simply offering self-care resources; it involves creating a systemic shift in how companies approach employee well-being.
