Harmon Construction Group2,400 employees · Year 1 results
Harmon had a workforce that was 89% male, a high-stress environment, and an EAP that nobody used. Their HR director put it plainly: "We had a mental health benefit. We didn't have a mental health culture."
After deploying Groundwork across all sites, utilization increased 5x in the first 90 days. The key wasn't incentives — it was framing. Groundwork was introduced as a performance tool, not a wellness benefit. Language mattered.
"We stopped calling it a wellness program. We started calling it performance support. That one change doubled sign-ups in a week."
