INDUSTRY: Manufacturing
COMPANY: Hendrickson
EMPLOYEE POPULATION: 4,300
UNDERLYING BACKGROUND
Hendrickson had been struggling with program 'buy-in' and limited resources as they worked to serve a population sprawled across multiple locations. Like many mid-sized manufacturers, engagement around health and wellness was recognized by leadership as a key area that can impact retention, risk management, medical claims, and recruitment.
KEY OBJECTIVES
Through structured program management, the organization sought to:
- Provide mental health education and awareness of available resources.
- Offer a sustainable framework for wellness.
- Minimize the stigmas associated with mental health treatment.
