Mental Health Management Competence
The Innovation Exchange is supporting the Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership (i3P) to connect with innovators that can provide engaging and practical ways of offering guidance to construction/infrastructure managers and teams (including office-based and on-site management) on preventative measures which reduce the effects of work-related stress. EDF is leading this initiative along with other i3P client and supply chain members. The construction/infrastructure industry has HSE standards in place but needs solutions which provide advice to site supervisors on how to support their teams in the field. A variety of methods should be considered.

Background
The Innovation Exchange is supporting the Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership (i3P) to connect with innovators that can provide engaging and practical ways of offering guidance to construction/infrastructure managers and teams (including office-based and on-site management) on preventative measures which reduce the effects of work-related stress.
Established in 2016, the Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership (i3P) is a community of client and supply chain organisations that have committed to delivering collaborative innovation through projects supported by an extensive network of experts and innovators and world-leading industry knowledge that will drive the future transformation of the infrastructure and construction industry.
The construction industry has a high rate of work absences due to poor mental health, particularly work-related stress. This impacts the employees in terms of their quality of life and impacts the productivity of the construction company. Sadly, the industry has some of the worst rates of suicide in the UK, with male construction workers being 2.7 times more likely to die by suicide than the average person. Not only does poor mental health impact an employee, but it affects their colleagues, friends, family and the business.
