A harsh reality of the construction industry is that it is made up of an aging workforce. To try and counter the impact of this, Limbach Facility Services in 2009 launched a robust internal wellness program that offers a cash incentive for employees who achieve certain wellness goals.
Limbach also encourages its construction teams to stretch and flex at the start of the work day. “Candidly, this program was met with snickers and doubters when initially suggested,” reveals CEO Charlie Bacon. “But many of our crews have discovered that 15 minutes of active stretching allows them to work with less stress on their bodies. And it's a fun way to start the day. Our crews work in better spirits with a more ready body—and this leads to fewer injuries.”
