At T.W. Frierson Contractor, Inc., our mission of “creating a foundation for people to thrive” resonates through every aspect of our operations, particularly in our commitment to Total Human Health. This holistic approach goes far beyond occupational safety, embracing a comprehensive vision for the well-being of our team members. The Total Human Health initiative is grounded in four essential categories—Body, Heart, Mind, and Soul—each of which support our overarching mission at T.W. Frierson.

 

Body: Ensuring Physical Well-being

To promote physical health, we provide improved benefits, including free employee healthcare, ensuring that every team member has access to the medical services they need without financial burden. Regular health checks and fitness programs, like our weekly Yoga class every Monday, are also pivotal parts of our initiative, aiming to enhance physical fitness and overall health.

 

Heart: Cultivating Emotional Wellness

The emotional well-being of our team is just as crucial as physical health. Under the Heart pillar, we focus on creating an emotionally supportive workplace where everyone feels valued and connected. Additionally, initiatives such as our sabbatical program allow employees to take time off to recharge and reconnect with their passions, significantly enhancing emotional well-being and job satisfaction.

 

Mind: Supporting Mental Health

Mental health support is integral to enabling our employees to perform at their best. We offer programs designed to help manage workplace stress and personal issues, ensuring our team members remain focused and effective. Recognizing the importance of mental health, especially in the high-pressure construction industry, we’ve introduced significant enhancements to our benefits offerings. On May 1, we launched FREE virtual mental health counseling through our First Stop Health benefit. This vital service is available to both our employees and their dependents, ensuring easy access to mental health professionals whenever needed.

 

Soul: Nurturing Personal Growth

The Soul aspect of our initiative emphasizes personal and professional growth, aligning with our mission to help people thrive in all areas of life. We encourage our employees to pursue passions outside of work, participate in community service, and engage in activities that enrich their lives, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

 

Addressing Industry Challenges

Our dedication to Total Human Health is also a strategic response to critical industry challenges, such as the shifting workforce demographics and the notable shortage of skilled tradespeople. Moreover, we are deeply committed to addressing the alarmingly high rates of suicide within the construction sector by promoting a culture of openness and support.

 

Beyond Building Structures

At T.W. Frierson, we believe deeply in the value of our workforce, whose skill and dedication enable us to build the places where America lives, learns, works, heals, plays, and prays. By investing in their total health, we ensure they not only build outstanding structures but also lead fulfilling, healthy lives.

The Total Human Health initiative is not just a program—it is the embodiment of our mission. It sets a new standard in the construction industry, proving that a company can excel in its projects and champion the well-being of its people. At T.W. Frierson Contractor, Inc., we are dedicated to building structures and enhancing lives, laying down a true foundation for people to thrive.
