The U.K. CIHT Awards recognize the outstanding achievements of
those working in the highways and transportation sector by
promoting their work as best practices to the industry. Jacobs also
won the CIHT / Gatwick Airport Major Projects Award with Skanska
U.K. and AECOM for work on the M1 Junction 19 Improvement Scheme
and the CIHT Collaboration Award with Cheshire East Council,
Ringway Jacobs and Eurovia for Working Together in Cheshire
East.
“We received over 150 entries to the CIHT Awards this year. The
standard of entry was very high and we commend all those who made
the shortlist,” said Sue Percy CIHT Chief Executive. “The CIHT
Awards are a celebration of all the excellent work currently taking
place in the sector. They demonstrate that our industry continues
to produce high caliber schemes, and innovative products and ways
of working, that contribute to both the transport community and
society.
“The CIHT / Tarmac Health & Safety at Work Award recognizes
projects that make a significant contribution to the health and
safety of employees across the highways and transportation sector.
We were pleased to award Jacobs as our winner for their Mental
Health Matters entry. This initiative has real potential to be
cascaded across the sector as a best practice,” added Percy.
“Mental health issues have a profound impact on the lives of
millions of people worldwide, so promoting positive mental health
is a natural extension of our BeyondZero® culture of caring
conceived a decade ago,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President
Buildings & Infrastructure Bob Duff. “By raising the profile
through our Mental Health Matters program, we hope to help staff
understand, protect and sustain their mental wellbeing.”
Inspired by its BeyondZero® principles, Jacobs worked with MIND
to develop this program focused on promoting positive mental health
and wellbeing. Initially launched in the U.K. and Ireland, and now
being rolled out across Jacobs globally, the program delivers
focused training, tools and techniques to enable a support network
of employee champions to offer early intervention and interim
support for staff while directing employees to the appropriate
professional options. In the U.K. and Ireland Jacobs has created
and trained a network of 150+ positive mental health champions and
trained a further 50 staff from client organizations.
Jacobs was also shortlisted for additional CIHT Awards including
the sustainable transport and collaboration awards, the Crewe
Sustainable Travel Programme (with Cheshire East Council and
Ringway Jacobs) and the Strategic Partnership with Essex County
Council and Highways England (with Essex County Council, Ringway
Jacobs, and Highways England) respectively.
Jacobs’ transportation professionals have also been honored
previously winning the CIHT Young Professional of the Year for
three consecutive years between 2014 and 2016.
