Men’s mental health is no longer just a wellbeing conversation — it is a business-critical issue affecting engagement, productivity, absence, retention and culture.
This focused 1-hour course gives employers a practical way to take action, equip key people with confidence, and create a workplace where male colleagues feel better supported.
Why this matters for employers
For organisations, the case for action is clear. In England, men accounted for 80% of suicides in 2023, with the highest risk among those aged 44–49. Mind’s report, Get it off your chest: Men’s mental health 10 years on, found that 43% of surveyed men frequently felt worried or down, while many men experiencing harmful coping behaviours, such as hazardous drinking, may be less likely to seek support early. Sector-specific risks are also significant: in construction, men are 3.7 times more likely to die by suicide than the national average. The 2024 Workplace Health Report also found that more than one in three men experience unhelpful stress at work.
