One in 5 of your employees could experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. Organisations can play a crucial role in supporting their people through these times. The Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse has created this handbook, with downloadable policy templates, guide books for managers and individuals. Please take a look and reflect on what your organisation has in place and see if any of these resources can support your staff. https://lnkd.in/e-FXCem2#healthierhappierconstruction

Are people in the construction industry lonely? Particularly for those that regularly work away from home? Loneliness is a part of life and something that most of us experience at some point. But when loneliness is severe or lasts a long time, it can have a negative impact on our health and well-being. Recent studies suggest that long-term loneliness is one of the largest health concerns we face. It is as harmful as obesity or smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Feeling lonely can lead to depression, anxiety, disrupted sleep and stress. It can also be a factor in heart disease, increased blood pressure and degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s.Its loneliness awareness week - take a look at some of the resources here you might want to share - https://lnkd.in/e3rhKKvV#healthierhappierconstruction

This article is well worth a read for anyone that relies heavily on their EAP for workers support. It references the radio 4 investigation that was actually shocking to listen to (check that out if you haven't). Like many health and wellbeing services, do your research, understand the SLA's, and look at their evidence base for how they do their work. We support organisations with setting up their OH programmes and this is such a fundamental aspect of ensuring you are getting the service you deserve. https://lnkd.in/en5C6r6c
