Newsweek, Mental Health America recognitions reinforce how DPR and the construction industry are evolving to better support employee wellbeing
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DPR Construction, one of the nation’s top technical builders, has been recognized for the third consecutive year on Newsweek‘s list of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing. Additionally, the company has earned Mental Health America’s (MHA) Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health for the second year in a row. These honors underscore the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing employees’ mental health and fostering a culture of wellbeing.
“Supporting wellbeing is fundamental to how organizations care for their workforce, and recognitions like these signal meaningful progress,” said Renee Stokman, DPR Leadership Team Member and People Practices Co-leader. “While this momentum is encouraging, there is still important work ahead to raise standards across an industry that has not consistently prioritized mental health. Continued investment in programs and partnerships with trusted mental health organizations will be critical to driving broader change and advancing the industry as a whole.”
DPR offers teammates a variety of mental health resources and programs focused on:
- Suicide prevention
- Psychological safety
- Normalizing the conversation around mental health
