Safe May and Mental Health Awareness Month: Mental Preparedness

This Safe May and Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re dedicated to promoting well-being and ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.

Whether you’re a driver, technician or work in an office, mental preparedness plays a crucial role in operating safely. When we are mentally prepared for work, it helps us respond to potential hazards, react calmly under pressure, and navigate everyday challenges effectively to maintain a safe environment.

At Republic Services, focusing on our employees’ well-being is at the core of our Human-Centered value. After all, we can all relate and we all wrestle with life’s challenges in one form or another.

“Our priority is to foster a workplace culture that truly cares about you and your well-being. We firmly believe that by prioritizing your needs and providing the support you require, we can create a positive and productive environment for everyone.  As we navigate our daily tasks, let us remember that mental preparedness is not just a luxury but a necessity for ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.” said Bryan F., Director of Safety.

With the support of resources like AbleTo, ComPsych, Rally, and One Pass Select, we empower ourselves to not only tackle the demands of our roles but also prioritize our mental health. Together, we can continue prioritizing safety and mental health, making sure that each member of our team thrives both personally and professionally.
