Lovell And Morgan Sindall Embrace Mental Wellbeing Support

Lovell Partnerships, Morgan Sindall Construction and Morgan Sindall Infrastructure united for a series of wellbeing activities, including a pop-up office gym for their employees across Scotland, to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week was 'Movement' and throughout the week, team members took part in fitness activities and games with prizes to be won, all aimed at boosting mental wellbeing.

At their shared offices in Motherwell, professional fitness equipment, including exercise bikes, climbers, and treadmills were installed as well as shuffleboards to encourage the team to get active together. At each of the developments at Glow Garren in Hamilton, The Crossings, South Queensferry and Oakwood Edge in Mayfield dart boards were installed to bring teams together and increase movement. In addition, all staff took part in a walking challenge to see who could get the most steps that week.


William Lindsay, Health and Safety Manager for Lovell in Scotland, said: "Our employees' mental health and wellbeing is our highest priority. Working in the construction sector is a hugely rewarding career choice, but as with all workplaces, our staff can experience stress and mental health challenges. This week is aimed at ensuring our employees feel supported, respected, and encouraged to prioritise their mental health.

"This week's activities have been designed to involve our entire team, from our office-based colleagues to our construction teams and supply chain partners and promises to be a blend of fun, fitness and friendly competition."

In addition to the week's scheduled events, Lovel offers continuous mental health support through a range of programmes. Employees have access to professional support and therapy to enhance their mental and emotional wellbeing.
