Men are often less engaged in mental health programs, leading to unaddressed issues and decreased wellbeing. Increasing their participation is crucial for comprehensive workplace wellbeing.
Key strategies:
1. Tailored programmes: Develop programmes that specifically address issues more common among men, such as stress management and physical health.
2. Male role models: Encourage male leaders to share their mental health journeys to normalise discussions around mental health.
3. Anonymous support options: Provide anonymous support options to reduce the fear of stigma.
4. Inclusive communication: Use inclusive language and communication strategies that resonate with male employees.
By implementing these strategies, organisations can increase male engagement in mental health programmes, leading to a healthier and more productive workforce.
