Each year, brave and selfless companies across the business world, from the smaller to some of the largest global corporations, come together as one and stand side by side, united in a commitment to fine moustachery and to changing the face of men’s health.
Whether it’s a few colleagues at your office or companywide participation, Movember brings 30 days of fun, conversation and staff interaction to the workplace. The Movember journey requires commitment and during the month - these Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for men’s health. No matter how big your Mo team, every moustache in the workplace helps Movember work towards achieving its vision - to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.
Getting involved with Movember
Movember in the workplace is FUN and it’s this aspect which tends to drive participation. Growing a moustache is something that many people prefer to do as part of a group; they feel ‘safer’ and are more relaxed about potentially looking a little foolish for a month. It’s this journey over a month that really develops a great team dynamic and produces a true feeling of comradeship, which has made Movember so popular within the workforce around the globe.
By its very nature, Movember acts as an excellent team building exercise. Staff of all levels, in different departments, across offices and sites are brought together each year by the experience of growing a moustache. The result is some healthy competition - who can grow the best Mo, who can raise the most money, which department or site has the most people registered, combined with some gentle ribbing and immense pride the Mo Bros have in doing good with their moustache ensures that the office is kept lively and united; effortless team fun all in the name of men’s health.
The Movember website is designed to easily enable companies to take part in several different ways – you can set up one company team or register different teams based on departments or office locations and then link them under a company network page - great for national or international office rivalry - the Movember website brings everyone together to share the journey.
And, despite being a charity focused on raising the issue of men’s health, Movember isn’t just for the guys. Mo Sistas have been pivotal to our success and nowhere is this more evident than in the workplace; organising office parties, registering and captaining teams, fundraising and ensuring that costumes for the end of month Gala events are arranged is what makes Mo Sistas such an important part of Movember.
