Through regular safety and risk education, we empower all employees to prioritize protection, practice diligence and make safe choices every day. Whether working in manufacturing, on a construction site or in the office, Wells implements industry-leading safety plans to ensure a safe working environment for every team member.
As a family organization, we believe in providing a supportive culture, so our commitment to safety extends beyond the work setting, providing a robust benefits plan with supports services for employee physical and mental health needs. Our commitment to employee health and well-being beyond the work setting reduces the risk of onsite injuries while supporting our culture.
As a result of hard work and constant practice, 2023 was the safest Wells year on record.
