What Workplaces Can Do to
Support Men’s Mental Health
While encouraging employees
to check in on colleagues to
昀椀nd out how they are going can
be bene昀椀cial, the workplace
should be looking to make a
more impactful difference and
intentionally drive supportive
behaviours and culture. Indeed,
workplace health-improvement
initiatives explicitly tailored to
men are not only more effective
at engaging men but are also
welcomed and valued by them.
The 昀椀rst, and perhaps the most
crucial step, in addressing
mental health challenges is
promoting a workplace where:
1. All staff members are supported,
2. Communication is open,
3. Help is accessible, and
4. Positive mental health is actively
monitored and promoted.
Promote a workplace culture
where employees feel safe to
seek support for a mental health
concern. This can benefit
everyone9s mental health.
When concerns are ignored,
employees may struggle without
support. Early, accessible
assistance can help people
address difficulties before they
become more severe.
