Why men's health matters in the workplace

29.01.2025

Men's health is a pressing issue often overlooked in the workplace, but employers have a unique opportunity to drive change and support their male employees' wellbeing.

Men face unique health challenges that can have a profound impact on their lives and productivity in the workplace. Did you know that in the UK, one in five men dies before the age of 65, often due to critical illnesses like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes? Men also tend to engage less with healthcare, with 72% admitting they'd rather do household chores than visit a doctor.

Employers have a critical role in addressing these issues. The new Healix Men's Health Matters publication explores the key challenges men face and offers actionable steps for employers to foster a supportive workplace.

What you'll learn:

  • How to create an open culture where discussing men's health is normalised.
  • The importance of prioritising mental health and breaking down stigma.
  • Practical ways to improve access to healthcare, including digital services and flexible options.
  • Strategies for promoting healthier lifestyle choices among male employees.
  • The value of offering medical MOTs to catch potential issues early.
