World Mental Health Day

10 October 2025

World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October. It’s a reminder of the importance of good mental health and the need to prioritise and invest in good mental health. It is organised by the Mental Health Foundation.

The engineering and construction sectors present unique and significant mental health challenges due to a combination of factors, and especially a deeply ingrained "macho" workplace culture. These factors contribute to mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and burnout, and tragically result in disproportionately high suicide rates among engineering and construction workers.

We believe that the mental health and wellbeing of our people is key to our continued success. We try to make sure everyone at Vogal Group has the support they need. This includes being able to talk openly about any mental health challenges to help reduce concerns about depression and anxiety in our workplaces.
