Take a Moment

What is the cost of distraction? A finger? A foot? A life? 

We bring our problems to work, whether we realize it or not. Our mental health impacts our physical health as well as that of those around us. So what do you do when you are facing a tough time?

LIBERTY, along with GFG, rolled out the “We Care” program, where we will work to regularly provide you resources and action items you can take to help in times of need. Recently, we shared that we have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that can help you with free counseling services, as well as other things such as legal or financial resources.

But beyond that, we want to encourage you to reach out to your colleagues. Sometimes we just need an ear to listen or a check-in. Just by asking “How are you doing and is there anything you need?” you can go a long way toward letting others know you care.

Check out this video made by our Infrabuild team talking about the importance of good mental health at work and the potential consequences of distraction. If you find yourself relating to these stories, don’t hesitate to reach out to the EAP, your manager or your Safety team.

Psychosocial health—a fancy way of saying your mental health is just as important to us as your physical ability to do the job.

Stay safe out there!
