In the energy sector, we often talk about the technical challenges of working offshore or away from home, but not enough about the personal ones.
For many energy workers, being away from home for weeks at a time means missing birthdays, anniversaries, school events, family dinners, and everyday moments with loved ones. While the job may take place hundreds of miles offshore, the impact is often felt back at home too.
Life on rotation can be rewarding, but it can also feel isolating. Long periods away from family and friends can lead to loneliness, stress, and challenges with mental wellbeing.
Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, we want to recognise the dedication of the men and women who keep our industry moving while making personal sacrifices that often go unseen.
A simple check-in, a conversation, or letting someone know they're not alone can make a bigger difference than we realise.
Let's continue to create a culture where mental health is spoken about openly and support is always available.
