Every November, Movember encourages men across the world to grow a moustache — and start conversations about men’s health. But it’s not just about facial hair. It’s about raising awareness of physical and mental wellbeing issues that affect millions of men each year.
At Sarsen Health Limited in Woking, Surrey, we believe that men’s health deserves more attention in the workplace.
Why Men’s Health Matters at Work
Men are often less likely to seek help for physical or emotional problems. This can lead to late diagnoses, long-term illness, and preventable absences. Common issues include:
- Stress and burnout
- Depression and anxiety
- Prostate and testicular cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
By encouraging open conversations and offering workplace health support, employers can play a vital role in improving men’s wellbeing.
How Employers Can Support Men’s Health
Creating a culture that supports men’s health is good for people and business. Employers can take action by:
- Offering confidential health checks and screenings
- Providing access to occupational health assessments
- Encouraging flexible working and mental health days
- Promoting awareness campaigns like Movember
At Sarsen Health, our occupational health team works with organisations across Woking and Surrey to develop health programmes that engage male employees and promote early intervention.
Making Men’s Health a Year-Round Priority
While Movember shines a spotlight on men’s health for one month, these conversations should continue all year. Regular health assessments, wellbeing workshops, and a supportive environment make lasting change possible.
