Employee health and well-being programs are becoming an important component of workforce management across construction, where employers must support employees working in diverse roles and environments. McCarthy Holdings Inc. has ranked seventh in the 2026 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America, recognizing its employee wellness initiatives.
McCarthy Holdings is the parent company of McCarthy Building Companies Inc., a U.S. construction business serving commercial, institutional, industrial and civil utility infrastructure markets.
McCarthy's employee well-being strategy covers physical, emotional and financial health. Its programs include Vitality, which provides wellness coaching, health assessments, activity challenges and incentives.
A nationwide network of Wellness Champions helps employees access available resources and participate in health activities.
Additional services include mental health support through Lyra, financial coaching through My Secure Advantage, family-building and midlife resources through Maven, cancer risk assessments through Color, and health care navigation through TouchCare.
The programs extend employee support beyond conventional health insurance benefits and include resources for employees' families.
The 2026 Healthiest 100 Workplaces assessment evaluates organizations across six categories: culture and leadership commitment, foundational components, strategic planning, communications and marketing, programming and interventions, and reporting and analytics.
Applications are assessed using a rubric-based scoring system ranging from 1 to 100. The evaluation also considers additional responses concerning chronic conditions and workplace health.
McCarthy has more than 8,000 salaried employees and craft professionals nationwide and operates through 19 U.S. offices. The business is 100% employee-owned.
The recognition highlights employee well-being as an element of workforce management within the construction sector. Companies operating across multiple markets and jobsite environments must address employee needs that extend beyond physical safety and traditional health coverage.
McCarthy's ranking provides an example of how a large construction employer structures wellness resources across physical health, mental health, financial guidance and family support. These areas remain relevant to contractors seeking to support a nationwide workforce.
