As November rolls in, so does the seasonal sight of extra mustaches sprouting up everywhere – an iconic symbol for a cause that’s much deeper than facial hair alone. This month, the Movember movement takes center stage, spotlighting men’s health issues ranging from mental health to cancer research. At Motimate, we’re proud to be part of this important initiative, so we’ve created a streamlined, educational Moti to raise awareness and spark conversations across workplaces. This Moti is designed to be engaging, informative, and ready to share – making it a perfect addition to your MotiSpace’s Discover library for any employees interested in learning about the true purpose behind the Movember movement.
What Is Movember?
Movember began in Australia in 2003 with a playful challenge between friends to bring back the mustache as a style statement, but quickly grew into a global movement focused on men’s health. Today, Movember addresses four critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. These are some of the most pressing health issues facing men today, and the Movember Foundation’s goal is to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25% by 2030, and the same for the number of male suicide. With the simple act of growing a mustache and rallying community support, men around the world are encouraged to speak up, reach out, and spread the word.
Why Movember Matters at Work
With the rise of mental health awareness and the growing focus on holistic well-being in the workplace, Movember provides a unique opportunity to engage employees in a cause that’s meaningful and impactful. Men’s health issues aren’t just isolated topics; they’re part of the larger conversation around well-being, support networks, and community. By taking part in Movember, organizations can help normalize discussions around health topics that have long been seen as uncomfortable or “taboo.”
How Motimate Supports Movember
To help bring Movember’s message to your teams, we’ve developed an educational Moti for easy integration into your workplace’s learning resources. This Moti can serve as a quick overview of Movember’s history, mission, and the health topics it supports. It’s perfect for raising awareness, encouraging team engagement, and making a meaningful impact—one mustache at a time.
How to Access the Moti:
If you’d like to roll out this Moti to your employees, it’s ready and waiting! Just message Support to let us know, and we’ll import it into your MotiSpace for you. Employees can browse and learn at their own pace, and whether or not they decide to join the movement with a mustache of their own, they’ll have the information to understand and support this incredible cause.
Join Us in Supporting Movember!
Movember isn’t only for those who can grow a mustache; it’s about sparking meaningful conversations and raising awareness about men’s health issues that affect us all. So, this November, let’s come together to champion the Movember cause—both online and offline—and foster a workplace culture that prioritizes wellness and compassion for every team member.
