RIGID Constructors, a leading player in the heavy civil and marine construction industry, recently celebrated a successful partnership with the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. The event was held at the company’s corporate office in Lafayette, Louisiana, on December 7, 2023. It was a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to the health and well-being of its workforce through the Mary Bird Perkins’ Prevention on the Go—Workplace Program.
During the initiative, screenings were conducted for an impressive 65% of RIGID executives and managers. It is noteworthy that 70% of these employees had never undergone cancer screenings before. This highlights the event’s success in reaching out to individuals who had previously not given priority to preventive care.
Mickey Suire, Chief Operations Officer of RIGID Constructors, expressed the company’s dedication to employee health, stating, “At RIGID Constructors, we are committed to prioritizing the health and well-being of our employees. The collaboration with the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center allowed us to make a significant impact, reaching employees who had not previously accessed essential cancer screenings.”
RIGID Constructors is partnering with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center to introduce the Prevention-On-The-Go Units program at field locations by 2024. The initiative aims to extend the program to employees working outside office settings, showing RIGID’s dedication to employee health and creating a positive impact in the communities it serves.
