Darkness into Light 2024

Posted on by ainehargadon

PJ Hegarty is looking forward to again participating in the Pieta Darkness into Light challenge on the 10th of May, walking from our Treasury to our Waterfront project during sunrise to raise vital awareness for suicide prevention.

Education and awareness about mental health have greatly improved over the past few years within the construction industry, but there are still barriers and stigmas to be broken down. Watch our video to see why our team members believe participating in Darkness into Light and having conversations about mental health are essential.

Today we commemorated Workers’ Memorial Day in the Garden of Remembrance, where we remembered everyone who has lost their lives or suffered illness or injury due to work-related accidents.

At PJ Hegarty, we honour their memory by reaffirming our commitment to safety. Safety is not just a word to us; it’s a value embedded in everything we do. We are committed to the physical and psychological safety and wellbeing of all our people, clients, partners, and neighbours.

 

Sleep Webinar for National Workplace Wellbeing Day

Posted on by ainehargadon

For National Workplace Wellbeing Day, sleep expert Tom Coleman hosted a Sleep Masterclass webinar for our Ireland and UK teams.

Sleep is a key pillar in our overall health and wellbeing, influencing everything from physical health to mental clarity and emotional resilience. Our team learned about sleep stages, creating a sleep-friendly environment, balancing work-life demands, and practical tips for better sleep and stress relief.

The webinar gave our teams valuable tools for cultivating healthy sleep habits and enhancing their overall wellbeing going forward.

 

 

Lighthouse Club Site Visit

Posted on by ainehargadon

Last week at our major Pharma Project in Limerick, we were delighted to host Lee Anderson and Rob Muldoon, representatives from the Lighthouse Club Construction Industry Charity who are part of the #MakeitVisible team.

Throughout the day, Lee and Rob captivated the team with their heartfelt talks, sharing their personal struggles within the industry. Their stories shed light on the challenges construction workers and their families face and, most importantly, the vital support available to them through the Charity.

With the project employing over 800 people, we understand the importance of open conversation and support within the construction community. The Make It Visible initiative is about making wellbeing support visible in construction; in sight, on every site.
