BW Homes & Construction Ltd, Glenmona, for the initiative: “Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy”

Making a difference to improve the physical and mental health wellbeing of its employees, BW Homes and Construction, part of the Braidwater Group, have launched a health and wellbeing programme at its Glenmona project in Belfast. The programme offers regular staff check-ins, funding for free counselling, and the use of a health app with access to relaxation techniques, discounts on healthcare, and a direct line to a therapist. To encourage movement and improve fitness levels a step challenge was organised setting goals and competitions on the number of steps completed. The team also launched a health MOT to help employees prevent illness by assessing and tracking their health, which includes a range of health markers including cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure checks.
