Men’s Health Month: Powering Sustainable Futures Starts With Wellbeing

At Spencer Ogden, we’re proud to support Men’s Health Month this June, a global campaign focused on raising awareness of the physical and mental health challenges faced by men.

As a business committed to creating careers that power a sustainable future, we understand that true sustainability begins with people. That includes the professionals working on the front lines of energy, infrastructure, and technology; the clients we support every day; and our own colleagues across the world.

Across industries, men continue to face cultural and structural barriers to health support, often under pressure to "tough it out" or stay silent. This is particularly true in male-dominated sectors like engineering, construction, and natural resources, where long hours, isolated roles, and high-pressure environments can take their toll.

It’s time to change the conversation and the culture.

Why Men’s Health Matters in the World of Work

Men are more likely to:

Delay or avoid seeking medical help

Experience undiagnosed mental health conditions

Work in high-risk or remote environments

Feel pressure to suppress emotions, especially in professional settings

The result? A global health gap that affects not just individual lives but entire teams, organisations, and economies. As recruiters and workforce partners, we have a role to play in closing that gap.

For Our Professionals and Contractors

If you're working remotely, on-site, offshore, or across borders, your health matters. Prioritising wellbeing isn’t just good for you. It’s essential to building a sustainable career.

Our advice:

Book regular check-ups, even if you feel fine

Reach out if you’re struggling, mental health matters as much as physical health

Stay connected, especially if you’re working in isolated environments

Build daily habits that protect your long-term wellbeing

At Spencer Ogden, we’re here to support more than just your next contract. We’re here to support your career journey.

For Our Colleagues

Wellbeing isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s a critical part of how we lead, how we work, and how we support one another.

At Spencer Ogden, we want everyone to:

Feel safe asking for help

Check in on colleagues regularly

Take time to recharge when needed

Make full use of our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and any local wellbeing tools. We don’t just place people into sustainable careers, we build them within our own walls.

Building a Healthier Future, Together

If we want to power a sustainable future, we must start with the people behind it. By promoting men’s health, we help build more resilient teams, more inclusive cultures, and more sustainable organisations.

Let’s not wait for a crisis to take action. Let’s talk. Let’s listen. Let’s lead the change.

If you’re a Spencer Ogden professional and need support, please speak to your consultant or local contact. If you’re a client looking to embed wellbeing into your hiring strategy, we’re ready to support you.

Because healthy people build sustainable futures.
