To celebrate Mental Health Awareness month in October, the company signed up to the Building Mental Health Charter.

The charter will see DJ Laing pledge to increase awareness/understanding of mental health issues, offer support to staff and encourage conversations about the issue.

The firm will also appoint a mental health first aider to assist with the pledges.

Karen Nicoll, managing director, said: “We care about the mental health of our male-dominated workforce and encourage our team to support each other and seek help if they have any worries. A problem shared is very often halved, so don’t suffer in silence.”
