Movember - Men's Health Month With Jon Weller

It's November.

And November means Movember. 

Movember is a time for us to unite and tackle mental health issues that are affecting our fathers, brothers, sons, cousins, uncles and friends. 

Things like mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. 

So today, we’re talking to Jon Weller.

Jon is a Director at Michael Page, but he is also Ngozi's husband.

Jon has experience supporting his colleagues who are struggling with their mental health, but he’s also supported Ngozi in times when she's struggled.

So, join us as we discuss men’s health and well-being.

Here are the highlights:

(3:06) Suicide rates in the UK

(8:40) Men’s barriers to seeking help

(13:34) Men and emotional expression

(19:08) Mental health and its impact on daily life

(24:58) Support for men in the workplace

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion
Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast! We are Ngozi Weller, a corporate wellbeing and productivity consultant, and Obehi Alofoje, a psychologist and behavioural change specialist.

We are the founders of Aurora, a corporate culture consultancy that specialises in creating psychologically safe workplaces that enable employees to thrive, and for us, wellbeing is personal.

The problem with employee wellbeing support, in most workplaces, is that it puts the responsibility on the person struggling to seek help. And when you are unwell, that is just too big a burden to bear.

It's not enough to say that your door is always open.

We need to get better at supporting our employees, and that is precisely what this podcast is about.

The rebellion is here, and it is long overdue. So this podcast is specifically for the HR or business leader who wants to make a difference to their employees. And the bottom line is we want to create psychologically safe workplaces where employees are empowered to bring their whole selves to work. We want to create a culture that is inclusive, supportive, and encourages everyone from the shop floor to the boardroom to play their part.

On the wellbeing rebellion podcast, we'll give you weekly up-to-date insights, strategies and tips that cover leadership capability, executive burnout, mental health, equity, diversity and inclusion and employee challenges such as retention, productivity and emotional resilience. Sometimes, it'll be just us. Other times we'll interview industry leaders and experts.

Don't hesitate - listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts, because The Wellbeing Rebellion starts now!
