Because Men’s Health at Work Matters
Inclusive Wellbeing at Work
Did you know 1 in 5 working age men dies in the UK every year, often due to preventable health problems?
From heart disease to suicide, the statistics speak for themselves.
- 76% of premature heart disease deaths are men.
- 3 in 4 suicides are men—the leading cause of death in men under 50.
- 39% of employers report that men don’t disclose health issues until it’s too late.
Too many men suffer in silence.
The Manbassador™ Programme changes that.
Developed by experts-delivered by you
Developed by Emily Pearson, founder of the Wellbeing Lead Academy, the programme is built on over 25 years of experience in health, social care, and workplace wellbeing specialising in men's mental health and addictions.
The Manbassador™ Programme also features expertise from Ryan Parke, The Men’s Coach—a TEDx speaker and industry leader in men’s mental health.

Why Do We Need ManBassadors?
Men’s health at work is a business-critical issue. Poor physical and mental health costs UK businesses £45bn a year, yet many workplace wellbeing strategies fail to engage men effectively.
The Manbassador™ Programme tackles this by:
✅ Training peer-to-peer advocates to support male colleagues
✅ Breaking stigma around men’s mental health and wellbeing
✅ Educating men on the 5 biggest killers affecting them at work
✅ Providing real-life strategies to improve men’s health at work
✅ Creating a safe space for men to talk, seek help, and take action
