Haulage &
Logistics

Although working in logistics can be a rewarding and varied career, time away from home, antisocial hours and isolation can take its toll. The stigma surrounding mental health in the industry can mean that conditions can go untreated. Talking about difficulties and adverse life events at an early stage can ensure that poor mental health does not escalate. Having these discussions can be a struggle for many people, especially men, who make up a large proportion of the workforce.
