The Hidden Crisis in Men’s Health at Work
Men’s health issues are silently costing lives – and hurting businesses.
Men’s health is one of the biggest blind spots in UK workplaces. Most of the issues affecting men are preventable, but too many keep things to themselves until it’s too late. That silence shows up in absence, productivity, turnover and performance long before it shows up as a ‘health problem’.
- 1 in 5 men in the UK won’t live to 65, often due to preventable illnesses.
- 3 in 4 suicides are by men – suicide is the #1 cause of death for men under 50.
- £53+ billion per year is the cost of poor mental health to UK businesses.
- 40% of employers say male staff don’t speak up about health issues until it’s too late.
Too many men suffer in silence, whether from stress, depression or physical illness. The result? Lives cut short and a massive impact on productivity, safety, and costs at work. It’s time to act.
