For World Mental Health Day this Saturday, we're reflecting on the 2026 theme,"Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change", which highlights the importance of listening to and learning from people's real experiences with mental health.
At HAC, we know that creating a positive culture starts with conversation. That's why we're proud to have a team of trained Mental Health First Aiders who are on hand to provide support, listen without judgement and help colleagues access the guidance they may need.
Alongside initiatives such as Time to Talk, our Mental Health First Aiders help ensure that every colleague has the opportunity to be heard. By encouraging open conversations and providing a supportive ear, they play a vital role in helping to break down stigma and promote understanding across the business. When people feel listened to, supported and valued, real change can happen.
We're also using World Mental Health Day to reaffirm our support for RAISE and No Excuse for Roadworker Abuse. Creating a positive workplace isn't just about supporting mental health when challenges arise; it's about fostering an environment where people feel safe, respected and appreciated every day. By standing against abuse and promoting respect across our industry, we're helping to protect the wellbeing of our workforce and ensuring colleagues feel confident speaking up when they need support.
