You Matter, We Care program recognised by World Steel Association
GFG Alliance Australia has been honoured with a prestigious award from the World Steel Association (worldsteel) for its outstanding commitment to occupational health and well-being.
The program, ‘You Matter. We Care,’ was acknowledged during worldsteel’s annual Safety and Health Awards, showcasing GFG Alliance’s dedication to creating a mentally healthy and supportive workplace.
At the core of You Matter. We Care are three essential pillars: psychosocial risk management, mental health, and employee well-being. These pillars form the foundation of a workplace where individuals feel empowered to speak up, seek support, and care for one another. The program’s motto, “You Matter. We Care. I’m Here to Listen,” emphasises the importance of eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health and fostering a culture of trust and psychological safety.
“This award is a testament to the hard work of our teams across the organisation, who have embraced this initiative and significantly contributed to safer and more inclusive workplaces,” stated Fran Nores, Global Head of Safety.
Nores further commented, “At GFG Alliance Australia, we believe that fostering a mentally healthy environment is just as vital as ensuring physical safety. This recognition from worldsteel underscores the importance of prioritising our people’s mental health, and I am immensely proud of the commitment demonstrated by our teams.”
While receiving this award marks an important milestone, it also serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey towards enhancing mental health support in the workplace. GFG Alliance remains committed to fostering an environment where mental health discussions are encouraged, and every employee feels valued and supported. Congratulations are due to all team members who have contributed to the success of the You Matter, We Care program.
