In this Light Lunch we chatted with Russell Pedersen, Technical Support & Training Manager, and Siobhan Page, Commercial Market Manager, both from Winstone Wallboards GIB.

They discussed their perspectives on current challenges and future priorities to promote workforce wellbeing, productivity, and resilience. Including:

• The construction industry is facing uncertainty due to rising costs and potential. Industry associations are advocating to government for pipeline clarity to support workforce planning.
• Ongoing training, information sharing, and community engagement are key for the industry's future.
• The importance of mental health and wellbeing – the growing emphasis on maintaining a health work-life balance. Tips shared: cold showers, healthy eating, good sleep habits, open communication at work about needs.
