Mental health has long been high on the agenda here at Eiffage Kier so today, on World Suicide Prevention Day, we took some time out to down our tools and gather in the kitchen to talk about well being and the elephant in the room - high suicide rates in the construction industry.
Following an informal talk delivered by our Project Director and mental health first aiders, refreshments were provided in the style of afternoon tea and the team was invited to spend half an hour socialising, sharing stories and, most importantly, checking up on each other's well being.
