Schlouch Incorporated: Leading With Safety, Growing Through Well-Being.

Schlouch Incorporated: Leading With Safety, Growing Through Well-Being. Lessons in building trust in leadership. Many construction companies begin with a pickup truck, a shovel and determination. Few evolve into organizations that redefine what workplace safety really means. Schlouch Incorporated (Blandon, Pennsylvania) is one of them. Founded by Barry and Deb Schlouch in 1983, the company has grown from those humble beginnings into a full-service site development contractor serving central Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley and the Delaware Valley. Today, more than 70% of its work comes from repeat customers, reflecting four decades of trusted relationships built on safety, quality and operational excellence. I first met Barry Schlouch in 2002 at a captive insurance owners conference, and I met Treasurer/Chief Financial Officer Rich King the following year through the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA). I have had the privilege of learning from and collaborating with these leaders ever since. What first stood out to me about Schlouch was the humility, servant leadership, desire for personal growth and discipline for continuous improvement. Looking back over the past two decades, I am not surprised the company evolved into a leader in workplace health and well-being. Those qualities were evident long before mental health and substance use prevention became part of broader workplace conversations. Schlouch's commitment to safety was always palpable. The company viewed safety as an investment rather than simply a compliance requirement. King periodically reminisces how leadership intentionally promoted education through continuous learning that extended well beyond toolbox talks and jobsite safety huddles. Another characteristic that distinguished Schlouch was transparency. Employees responsible for managing projects, departments and field crews had access to meaningful financial, safety and operational information so they could make informed decisions and understand how their work contributed to the company's success. Barry Schlouch describes the company's culture as, "built on people first, where safety, teamwork, integrity, continuous improvement and caring for one another create lasting value for our employees, customers and communities." That spirit of transparency continues today. Each year, all employees and their spouses or partners are invited to an annual meeting where leadership reviews safety metrics, financial performance, strategic priorities, employee benefits and the business plan for the coming year. Schlouch also surveys its vendors annually and brings them together to discuss the results, industry trends, safety and opportunities to work more effectively together. For many years, Barry Schlouch promoted the idea of coming to work fit. King explained, "Leadership understood that preventing injuries involved more than eliminating hazards on a jobsite. Helping employees better understand their own health was another way to keep them safe." Long before wellness programs became common in construction, Schlouch partnered with the wellness division of Lehigh Valley Health Network to host health fairs. Around 2010, the company expanded those efforts by introducing biometric screenings and encouraging employees to "know your numbers." King and HR Coordinator Lisa Bogert also began participating in the Lehigh Valley Business Coalition on Healthcare (LVBCH) in 2012. What began as an opportunity to learn from other employers grew into active leadership within the coalition. King has served on the board since 2017, became an officer in 2021 and is completing a two-year term as chair. The results have been meaningful. Employee engagement increased, population health improved and employee health contributions declined. Most importantly, as King highlighted, "Quite a few employees and spouses had previously undiagnosed health conditions detected, such as hypertension and diabetes, and received treatment before those conditions became more serious." As I watched Schlouch's wellness efforts focused on physical health mature into a broader focus combining physical health and mental well-being over the years, another pattern became clear. Leadership was not creating another program. They were broadening the scope of safety. Construction has always recognized the importance of protecting workers from physical hazards. Schlouch came to recognize that physical health, psychological safety, mental well-being and substance use prevention all influence whether employees can perform at their best and return home safely each day. King credits the Schlouches with that evolution: "Barry has spoken publicly about his parents' struggles and their successful treatment through Caron Treatment Centers. Barry's willingness to share that personal story helped reduce stigma and made it easier for employees and their families to seek help." The same vulnerability was shown by several other members of Schlouch's leadership team who had family members who experienced mental health or substance use challenges. Those experiences created a greater awareness that these issues touch every workplace and reinforced leadership's commitment to providing meaningful support. This vulnerability created a safe space for others to acknowledge that they or a family member needed support. "We never viewed an employee assistance program as simply 'checking a box,'" King shared. "When employees or family members experienced difficulty accessing care, Schlouch changed providers, expanded services to include financial, legal and parental support, and worked intentionally to normalize conversations about mental health and recovery." That philosophy continues today. In May, King and Bogert joined another member of their insurance captive on a panel during a "Building a Mentally Healthy Culture" workshop that I had the pleasure of facilitating. Schlouch has embraced many of SAFE Project's recommendations for creating recovery-friendly workplaces, including: * Signing the #NoShame Pledge * Expanding employee assistance program services * Implementing next-chance agreements for employees needing support * Providing flexible leave policies that support treatment and recovery * Placing naloxone in company facilities and jobsites * Developing partnerships with community treatment and recovery providers These initiatives are not separate from Schlouch's long-standing commitment to safety. They are the next evolution of it. Companies that genuinely care about their employees recognize that protecting people means caring for the whole person. King also credits long-time Chief Operating Officer Don Swasing for helping create buy-in among field employees on the wellness and mental health initiatives. King shared, "Don is respected for his technical knowledge and leadership. However, his more valuable skills are how he leads from the heart and intuitively finesses tough conversations, like mental health and substance use." King continued, "Our key field leaders also embraced the programs and allowed us to bring wellness to the field with on-site biometrics and health educational sessions." Purpose and intention are still the hallmarks I think about when I reflect on Schlouch. I remember Barry proudly pointing out artwork created by Deb, displayed throughout the company's offices, which reflect the company's philosophy. King shared, "Barry and Deb have always believed in providing a welcoming and comfortable environment in which employees are inspired to do their best work and be creative." I last visited Schlouch while the company's renovation was underway to create brighter collaborative spaces with updated technology while preserving artwork and traditions that reflect its history and culture. Like so many things at Schlouch, the environment continues to evolve without losing sight of the values that shaped it. Schlouch reminds me that exceptional organizations never stop learning. Collectively, the leadership team expanded the definition and scope of safety. They recognized that caring for employees means caring for the whole person. They committed to breaking stigma around mental health and substance use helping to provide pathways for employees and family members to seek help. In an industry where trust, teamwork and safety remain fundamental to success, this is a lesson worth sharing. * Cal Beyer Cal Beyer, CWP, is senior director of SAFE Workplaces for SAFE Project.

Pa. 'Blue Envelope' program helps first responders aid drivers with autism.

Pa. 'Blue Envelope' program helps first responders aid drivers with autism. Jefferson Health's Blue Envelope program is expanding to Luzerne County, giving drivers on the autism spectrum a tool to help make traffic stops safer and less stressful. April 12, 2026 08:00 AM By Gregory Adams Standard-Speaker WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), a part of Jefferson Health, officially launched the Blue Envelope program with Luzerne County police departments on Wednesday at the Wilkes-Barre Twp. Firehouse. The program, which has already been enacted by departments in Monroe, Lehigh and Northampton counties, is aimed at helping smooth communication between drivers with special needs and police officers. Under the program, drivers carry a blue envelope in their vehicle. The front of the envelope notes the driver is on the autism spectrum and indicates if that person is verbal or nonverbal. The envelope includes instructions for the driver on what to do during a traffic stop. The back of the envelope has tips for police to help their interaction with the driver go smoothly. Inside the envelope is a sheet that explains the program and provides contact information to medical attention or assistance in interacting with the driver if that were to become necessary. The sheet also explains that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can impair the driver's ability to communicate and they may have difficulty understanding or responding to questions. Kingston Police Chief Richard Kotchik believes the implementation of the program is an important way to enhance how local departments can serve and protect all residents. "This program strengthens the relationship between law enforcement and the community," Kotchik said. "It demonstrates our commitment to evolving, listening and finding better ways to serve, especially those who may need a little extra support." Erin Ludwig, executive director of community engagement with Jefferson Health, spoke to the audience of local officers and noted having to interact with law enforcement could make anyone anxious but for individuals on the autism spectrum those interactions can be especially challenging. Since the program's launch in Lehigh County in April 2024, more than 10,000 blue envelopes have been distributed and have been made available to over 50 law enforcement agencies. April is also World Autism Month. Kotchik said he was first made aware of the program through other police chiefs in the county. Dallas Twp was the first local agency to implement the blue envelopes last year and after hearing about their success with it was more than happy to introduce it county-wide. "I think it's going to be great for the guys to start learning more about it and I think this is going to be the way to do it," he added. Officers will have literature available to go over about the program as well as trainings on autism and different signs to look for during interactions. Kotchik said he will get the envelopes and literature out to every department in the county for use. The program was birthed through a partnership between LVHN and Salisbury Township., Lehigh County. Ludwig says the feedback has been satisfying. "Its been great to see some of the extensions of the program. It's very interesting to schools and driver education programs, colleges and universities, community partners, and that's what's continued to inspire us, just the continued enthusiasm of being open to creating better understanding between these populations," she remarked. Ludwig said they will continue to respond to community need in terms of expanding the program, noting there are still ample growth opportunities. Blue envelopes can be obtained by contacting your local police department. Want more like this? Create an EMS1 profile to see personalized content that matters most to you.

"We are so excited about our collaboration with Jefferson Health," said Don Pleau, general manager, Kalahari Resorts & Conventions. "It will enhance our guest resort experience with new sensory elements and training and provide a valuable resource for the community and our team members."

Lehigh Valley Hospital receives $250,000 grant to expand health care workforce education

Lehigh Valley Hospital receives $250,000 grant to expand health care workforce education. The region is getting another boost towards health care workforce development. Lehigh Valley Hospital has been awarded a $250,000 Schools-to-Work Program (STWP) grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry to expand its workforce development initiative, Health Care Futures, in partnership with the Allentown School District's Bridgeview Academy of Health, Science, Innovation and Technology. With the funding, Health Care Futures will expand career exposure and job placement support to Bridgeview while developing and implementing a comprehensive allied health curriculum for students in grades 9-12. "This investment is about unlocking new opportunities for our students," said State Sen. Nick Miller, D-Lehigh/Northampton. "Health Care Futures doesn't just prepare Bridgeview students for graduation. It connects them to family-sustaining careers in health care, giving them hands-on experience that sets them apart in the real world. With this $250,000 investment secured by my office, we are equipping students with the skills, experience, and confidence to build lasting careers, strengthen our local workforce, and serve our community for years to come." The Department of Labor & Industry awards STWP funding to employers, schools, and community organizations to create, launch, and sustain registered pre-apprenticeship career pathways. These programs are designed to bridge the gap between high school or college graduation and successful entry into the workforce. "The Schools-to-Work grant represents a transformative investment in the students of the Allentown School District," said Carol Birks, Allentown School District superintendent. "By strengthening our partnership with Lehigh Valley Hospital, we are ensuring that our students don't just learn about the medical field in a classroom, they are able to experience it firsthand. This collaboration provides a direct pathway to high-demand careers, empowering our youth with the technical skills and professional mentorship needed to lead as the next generation of healthcare professionals." The announcement follows ASD Bridgeview's January groundbreaking for the new Family and Community Resource Center, which will be the new centralize enrollment support, expand access to coordinated health and wellness services, and offer workforce development resources to the community.
