The Hidden Crisis in Men’s Health at Work
Act now to save lives, cut costs, and build healthier workplaces
Did you know?
📊 1 in 5 working-age men in the UK dies every year, often from preventable health problems.
💔 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 say men don’t disclose health issues until it’s too late.
💷 Poor mental health costs UK businesses £53–56bn per year.
Too many men suffer in silence.
The Manbassador™ Programme changes that.

Government Calls To Employers
Men’s health won’t improve unless workplaces step up. The new Men’s Health Strategy 2025 calls on employers to go further by creating wellbeing programmes that truly meet men where they are - peer-led, practical, male-friendly and tailored to how men naturally engage.
From shoulder-to-shoulder activities to digital support and targeted campaigns, the evidence is clear: when employers design health initiatives that work for men, help-seeking rises, stigma drops and lives are saved.
The Manbassador™ Programme gives organisations a ready-made, evidence-based way to act on this call to action.
Developed by Leading Experts. Delivered by Your Team.
Created by Emily Pearson, founder of the Wellbeing Lead Academy, with over 25 years’ experience in health, social care and workplace wellbeing.
Supported by Ryan Parke, The Men’s Coach - TEDx speaker, author and industry leader in men’s mental health.
