We never know what’s going on in someone’s life. Every single person goes through hard times, loss, trauma, financial struggles, relationship breakups, mental illness. We know that many people, live in isolation with their struggles. For too long, there has been an attitude of getting on with things, not reaching out if we’re in pain, and not asking other people if they’re ok. Research tells us that being connected does reduce mental illness and contribute to saving lives.

We spend countless hours of our lives at work, and workplaces have a duty to provide an environment of care. The Jackson Kidd Wellbeing Award is about recognising what our wonderful frame and truss fabricators are doing to support all their staff and themselves, in providing a workplace that encourages and implements connection, positive relationships, and most importantly, prioritising wellbeing.

You don’t have to invest a million dollars into staff wellbeing to make a difference in peoples’ lives. This award is about recognising a consistent practice in supporting staff to feel valued, and cared about, with whatever life throws at them. We want to recognise, and truly acknowledge businesses that make this a priority.

We understand though that while sometimes tragedy can still strike, we all have a role to play in supporting each other the best we can, and trying to reduce mental illness rates, and ultimately suicide, in our community. We want to present this award, whilst honouring a tremendous young man from our industry.

FTMA Community Award

The FTMA Community Award is a newly introduced award and aims to highlight and celebrate the vital role that businesses play within their local communities. As a leading industry body, we believe it is paramount to encourage, motivate, and reward our members who go above and beyond in their community engagements. Through their active involvement, these businesses foster a sense of unity, drive societal progression and bring about tangible, lasting change on a local level – advantages that extend far beyond the profits of their operations.

The significance of businesses immersing themselves in their communities cannot be overstated. Businesses that dedicate time and resources toward community involvement are not only building stronger relationships with customers but are also contributing to the overall quality of life within these communities. They often become catalysts for community development, stimulating local economies, supporting educational initiatives, and promoting social well-being.

Recognising these efforts with the FTMA Community Award echoes our commitment to societal progress, ethical business practices, and the fostering of a supportive and inclusive industry culture.
