SME Spotlight: A Construction Firm’s Year-End Wellness Drive

See how one construction SME built a stronger, healthier workforce through year-end wellness.

The year-end period in construction doesn’t just mean finishing projects — it’s also about ensuring every worker goes home safe and healthy. One mid-sized construction firm in Laguna recently rolled out a wellness and safety initiative that proved proactive care can reduce incidents while boosting morale.

Their goal was simple: end the year strong, with zero accidents and better health awareness across the team.

1. Safety First, Always

The firm began with a series of short on-site toolbox talks, focusing on proper equipment handling, hydration, and fatigue management. HR and safety officers coordinated weekly with foremen to ensure compliance while addressing real worker concerns.

By pairing these sessions with medical checkups through Purple Cow’s SmilePH network, they made preventive care accessible even for field-based staff.

2. Building a Culture of Care

Beyond physical safety, the HR team recognized the value of mental well-being. Workers were encouraged to talk about stress, overtime pressures, and family needs — a big step in an industry where emotional fatigue often goes unnoticed.

Simple gestures, such as providing nutritious snacks and hydration breaks, reinforced that management truly cared about their people.

3. Results That Speak Volumes

Within three months, the company saw a drop in minor work-related injuries and a noticeable boost in employee satisfaction.

They plan to continue quarterly wellness drives in 2026 — proof that small, consistent actions can create long-term impact.
