At Powersystems, we know the construction industry can be a demanding place, with long hours and challenging environments that can take a toll on your wellbeing. That’s why we’re excited to announce a lighthearted initiative: everyone gets a KitKat!
This small token of appreciation comes with a powerful reminder: taking breaks isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. So, pause for a moment, enjoy your delicious treat, and remember why breaks are essential:
- Reduce Stress – Short breaks can lower cortisol levels, helping you unwind.
- Increase Focus – Stepping away can enhance your concentration and productivity.
- Prevent Burnout – Regular breaks can help combat emotional exhaustion.
- Improve Mental Health – Taking time for yourself can boost your mood and overall well-being.
We’re committed to creating a supportive workplace, and we have a range of initiatives in place to support you, including:
- Wellbeing Initiatives – Enjoy our on-site gym, contemplation room, and other health-focused resources.
- Training – All employees have access to resilience training and management wellbeing training.
- Mental Health Support – Our Wellbeing Ambassadors are here to help, along with our new partnership with the Lighthouse Club, which provides 24/7 support for the construction community.
- Access to Support Services – Our Employee Assistance Programme offers a wide range of support, accessible via app or web.
- Wellbeing Benefits – Enjoy private health insurance and a healthcare cashback plan.
- Flexibility – We offer options for additional holidays and various leave types to support your family needs.
Remember, prioritising your mental health is crucial. By taking regular breaks and making small changes, you can improve your overall well-being and build a stronger, healthier you.
At Powersystems, health, safety, and wellbeing is our number one priority. If you haven’t checked out our Employee Wellbeing page yet, be sure to do so for more information.
Remember: “Have a break, have a KitKat,” and thank you for being a valued part of our team!
