Turner Construction in the US promoting physical and behavioural health on and off the job

• Turner Construction, one of the nation’s largest contractors, has initiated an enhanced wellness campaign for workers at a multiyear office project in Boston that goes well beyond workplace health and safety, according to a news release.
• Corporate wellness provider Wellness Workdays said Turner hired it to run a “Wellness Trailer 2.0” program at its jobsite to help Turner employees, as well as trade partners, adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles, with an emphasis on both physical and mental well-being. Screenings and prevention are a key aspect of the program.
• “We know the conversation around safety needs to include the topic of substance use/misuse as well as mental health, resilience and physical well-being,” said Bruce Ventura, vice president for Turner in Boston, in the release, adding the firm wants to “promote employee health and wellness, rather than only taking measures to treat illnesses and injuries.”
