At Aldridge, our employees are our greatest asset, and their safety and well-being are our top priorities. Since 2020, we've expanded our focus on mental health and wellness as part of our IIF journey, ensuring support for both our employees and their families.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a formal Employee Assistance Program (EAP), available 24/7 to employees and their household family members. This confidential service supports mental, physical, social, and financial well-being. Additionally, specialized help is available for substance abuse.

Unique to Aldridge, U-R-OK is a series of monthly calls designed to normalize mental health conversations, break the stigma, and provide a safe space for sharing personal experiences. These sessions emphasize that mental health struggles are common and highlight the availability of support.

In partnership with Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas and the University of Colorado, Aldridge has trained over 70 employees as Mental Health First Responders through the VitalCog program. These employees now conduct construction-suicide-specific training sessions nationwide, promoting suicide prevention and fostering open dialogue about mental health. This initiative supports individuals at all levels, enhancing our culture of mental health awareness and support.
