National Safety Month | Week 4: Wellbeing
What comes to mind when you think of workplace safety? For many, it’s hard hats, machine guards, and hazard signs. But what about grief, stress or fatigue? These can also be hazards that affect our ability to work safely.
Workplace wellbeing is about more than just wellness programs or fitness challenges. It creates environments where employees thrive physically, mentally and emotionally. It recognizes that workplaces can be critical in protecting or putting people at risk.
Here are a few ways we can begin addressing wellbeing-related risks:
- Acknowledging human limits: None of us operate at 100% all the time.
- Treat wellbeing like any other risk by identifying and prioritizing related risks.
- Partner across departments: Collaborate with the Security Risk Management team while seeking feedback from frontline workers.

Union County is a proud employer of veterans and supporter of military families. Steven Stack (Building Code Enforcement) had been counting the days since he last saw his daughter Summer, currently serving in the U.S. Navy as a hospital corpsman. With a little help from her dad's coworkers, Summer was able to pull off the perfect surprise homecoming, just a few days after Father’s Day. Watch the heartwarming moment this proud dad and his brave daughter were reunited here at Union County Government on Facebook or YouTube.
