Today is International Men's Day. A day to recognise and address the challenges and experiences of men and boys. It encourages conversations about men’s mental health, positive masculinity, and gender equality. This year's theme is 'Zero Male Su***de'.

Today, take a second to think about how you can further support the males in your workplace:

- Hold an informal men's forum that can be a safe space for men to share viewpoints, personal experiences, commonalities, differences, and challenges.
- Offer coaching sessions to male employees navigating big changes like parental transition and career progression.
- Encourage men to prioritise their physical and mental health by seeking medical advice and support when needed.
- Explore the role of men as active parents. Run a webinar to explore fatherhood and the challenges men face as parents, particularly new fathers.
- Engage line managers. Consider ways of empowering line managers to talk about mental health, workload, and stress as part of normal conversations in 1-2-1s. This can help men at work to feel more comfortable to open up when facing issues.
