What could International Men’s Day start in your workplace?
What would help the men in your organisation feel supported – in their working lives and beyond?
Perhaps it is time to reflect on a changing role at home. A chance to talk about the pressures of combining career and caring responsibilities. Or confidential support during a health challenge or a period of uncertainty.
International Men’s Day on 19 November offers an opportunity to explore these questions with your employees. It is also a chance to make space for what matters to them and consider how that understanding can shape your support throughout the year.
To help you turn those conversations into action, we’ve created a men’s wellbeing pilot package for organisations to support men through the Moments That Matter.
Why we’re giving men’s wellbeing greater visibility
Behind every employee is a life that influences how they feel, work and relate to others. Becoming a father, caring for a loved one, facing a health concern or reconsidering career priorities can bring new demands alongside opportunities for growth.
These Moments That Matter deserve understanding and support. Yet men may not always recognise themselves in the help available, particularly when communications about parenting, caring or work–family balance can seem to focus primarily on women.
There can also be questions about how seeking support will be received. Can I ask for flexibility while pursuing a promotion? How do I explain that things at home are difficult? Where can I talk through something personal in confidence?
Making men’s wellbeing more visible helps open up these conversations. It gives organisations an opportunity to hear directly from men about their experiences and what would make a difference.
Our aim is to make that first step easier – for employers looking to develop their support and for men who would value time to consider their own priorities.
Launch a men’s wellbeing pilot in your organisation
If you want to strengthen support for men but are considering where to begin, a pilot provides a manageable starting point.
P&P’s men’s wellbeing pilot package – Supporting Men’s Wellbeing combines:
- An expert-led webinar to raise awareness and open up conversations.
- Confidential one-to-one coaching to give men space to explore their individual experiences and priorities.
- Employee communications to help you promote the support available.
- Anonymous feedback to help you understand the impact and shape your next steps.
The webinar creates an opportunity to explore shared themes. Coaching provides a more personal space where employees can reflect on what they are navigating and consider how to move forward.
Together, these elements help employers offer support while learning from the experience. Anonymous feedback can inform decisions about what to develop, making International Men’s Day a starting point for an ongoing approach to men’s wellbeing.

Make space for what matters — beyond 19 November
An invitation to a webinar or access to confidential coaching can each help someone feel that their experience matters.
The lasting difference comes through what follows: managers listening, employees feeling confident to ask for support and organisations responding to what they learn.
Our package is designed to help you begin that process and support men through the Moments That Matter. Including men in the gender equality conversation means listening to those aspirations and understanding what makes them difficult to act on. It also means helping managers respond with confidence and making support accessible in everyday working life.
When men feel supported to thrive at work and at home, we move closer to a more equal workplace for everyone.
