Wellbeing Group

Collaborating to scale wellbeing and welfare improvement in the built environment.

Supporting the industry to enhance the wellbeing of our workforce and our community and drive positive culture change

The School’s wellbeing group is an industry collaboration that brings together our partners, stakeholders and organisations from across the supply chain

Together we are dedicated to providing education and support to those in need whether this is through signposting or through developing our training programme.   

Furthermore, we aim to work collaboratively to promote a more proactive and preventative approach to workforce wellbeing across the built environment and to drive long term culture change within the industry, to promote equality, diversity, inclusion and respect that will ultimately promote construction as a career choice for the next generation. 

Our mission however is multifaceted:

  • To confront the workforce wellbeing crisis head-on within the industry and;
  • To promote the wellbeing of our communities – highlighting where wellbeing is impacted at different points in the value chain, from planning and design, material sourcing and manufacture, construction and building management.
