WorkPro's Growing A Mo!
Around 10.8 million men worldwide are dealing with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Testicular cancer remains the most common cancer in men, and we lose a man to suicide every minute of every single day around the world.
These are alarming statistics, but Movember are doing what they can to addresses these very important issues. Since the cause started in 2003, they have funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects globally.
We want to do whatever we can to support this important cause, so we’ve put together the WorkPro Mo team to help raise awareness and funds. Over the next month, members of the WorkPro team will be growing their best mo's and some will be running upwards of 60km.
Mental health is something very close to our hearts and we constantly empower the WorkPro community to have a proactive approach when it comes to assisting their workforce with this topic.
Health and safety extend far beyond physical injuries that occur in the workplace. Incidents in the workplace can also harm a person's psychological health and have serious, long-term effects on a person’s mental health. Proper health and safety at work is about preventing and managing physical and mental hazards, including ‘psychosocial’ hazards.
Our dedicated ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’ eLearning module is one of the most popular pieces in our
eLearning library and on average we see this important module completed 25 times a day. For further assistance on mental health, you can access
WorkPro eBooks for free.
The ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’ module includes the following:
- The definition of psychosocial risk and hazard
- Examples of situations that may impact your mental health at work
- Common psychosocial hazards
- Responsibilities of workers and employers
- The importance and expectations of reporting
For every completion of the ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’ module and every Police Check processed in the month of November, Movember will receive a portion of the proceeds from WorkPro.
For those wanting to donate directly to Movember, then you can head over to the WorkPro Mo Team page and contribute now. Stay tuned for thrilling updates on the team’s Mo progress through the month.
