Beyond Customary Perks: A New Vision for Workplace Well-being

The limitations of conventional well-being initiatives are becoming increasingly apparent. While mindfulness sessions and flexible hours offer some benefits, they often fail to address the underlying issues affecting employees’ mental health.These issues frequently include:

• Scarce hours of sleep next to shift jobs
• Family problems after discussions with co -workers
• Gastric difficulties with a long history of work overload

Sacyr recognizes that true well-being requires a more integrated and comprehensive strategy.

Sacyr’s commitment to mental health care is built on solid foundations. The company’s Sacyr Healthy program, a key component of its Company Strategic Plan, focuses on four fundamental pillars:

• Physical health and nutrition
• Financial health
• Social health
• Mental health

Sacyr views emotional well-being not merely as a tool for talent retention but as a fundamental obligation toward its staff. This commitment is reflected in the integration of mental health initiatives within the Directorate of Safety and Health.

Integrating Mental Health into Occupational risk Management

Sacyr is taking proactive steps to address mental health within the framework of occupational risks. This includes:

• Implementing screening tests during medical examinations.
