• Maintain consistency, rather than jumping from one platform to the next.


Simplicity, Focus, and Open Communication: The Tech Prescription Mental health experts agree that sim- plicity, focus, and communication are essential pillars for reducing stress. Tere- fore, the key to leveraging technology for improved mental health lies in adopting this same philosophy. This approach should permeate every aspect of tech- nology implementation, from software design to training and support. Contractors who simplify tech stacks,


streamline communication, and focus on one core platform see higher adoption and success with the tools, leading to improved morale (in addition to finan- cial ROI). Construction is anything but simple.


However, the technology you use can be. If you want to implement simplicity as a cornerstone, you must: • Prioritize user-friendly interfaces and intuitive workflows. Tenna, for example, arms workers with an equipment management app catered to field workflows so field users have improved visibility, better communication and an overall easier time completing safety and compliance activities.


• Eliminate unnecessary complexity and streamline processes. For example, at Tenna, operators conducting equipment inspections that fail an issue can automatically trigger a work order from their mobile app to the shop when the inspection is complete. Te shop can then close the loop with workers in the field once maintenance is complete and


Construction technology has long been viewed through the lens of productivity and profit. But its potential to improve mental health is equally significant. When adopted with care, transparency, and a focus on real user needs, technology can ease the mental strain that so oſten goes unnoticed on the jobsite.
