Today is .

The theme of 2022's World Mental Health Day is 'Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority”.

Over the past few months Causeway has been sharing a similar message within the Construction sector, as mental health is now a serious issue.

Research shows that male site workers are up to three times more likely to commit su***de than the average male in the UK.

With that said, we ask you to join us in exploring the role that technology and football play in helping to improve wellbeing and open up conversations on construction sites.

No matter who you are, if you have experience working on-site your views and experience are valuable. We want to hear from you this World Mental Health Day via our “Mental Health Onsite” survey.

Organised in collaboration with Everton in the Community, this survey will only take a few minutes and is completely anonymous.

You or any of your connections with onsite experience can take part here:

We are all deeply saddened here at Causeway about the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. The Royal Family are in our thoughts at this difficult time.

As World Su***de Prevention Day approaches, organisations and communities (the construction industry included) are coming together to raise awareness of how we can create a world where fewer people die by su***de.

For those who work in construction, it’s time to act.

With two construction workers taking their own life every working day, and 1 in 4 contemplating su***de, there really isn’t a moment to waste when it comes to tackling mental health onsite.

In partnership with Everton in the Community (EitC), we want to explore the role that technology could play in helping to improve wellbeing on construction sites, while using the “beautiful game” to open up conversations.

If you have experience working on construction sites, you can help us to reach our goal by completing our anonymous ‘Mental Health Onsite’ survey.

Every survey entry is important, and yours could save a life this World Su***de Prevention Day.

Lorraine Baillie recently spoke with us about County Contractors' plans to digitise its forms, automate workflows and store its expansive library of forms in on place – and they’re using Causeway Ermeo and Causeway Docs to do it.

As IT & Telecommunications Manager, Lorraine talks about the challenges that led to choosing these two solutions.

It’s all about taking back control and replacing workarounds by making digitisation part of their future.

Lorraine said:

"I'm hoping that the solution we implement will enable our site-based users to easily access their everyday work tasks via their mobile devices whilst giving them a uniformed digital platform.

"There are multitudes of ways that the implementation is going to help everybody."

📣 | "Construction sector participants should rethink their operating approaches to avoid being caught out in what could be the world's next great productivity story"

This quote is from the McKinsey Global Institute report: Reinventing Construction: A Route to Higher Productivity.

The report says the industry could boost productivity by 50-60%, but only if it hastens the digital transformation effort.

Despite the battle with timelines and budgets, there is a real sense of progress and change at play. Big leaps towards digital transformation are leading to a brighter future.

Access to tools and resources are empowering construction firms to flip the narrative and play a leading role in the world's next great productivity story.

Have a read of this blog to see four ways this is happening right now.

Good supplier relationships are vital in construction. By managing suppliers, understanding how they work and measuring supplier performance, you can be much more confident that your supply base can deliver when you need.

Rather than reactively reaching out to market whenever you need to find a supplier, supplier relationship management is about proactively fostering relationships with your supply chain.

Whether you are just at the beginning of implementing supplier relationship management, or your company has been building these beneficial relationships for years, there is always room for improvement.
