What is Healthy Masculinity and how it applies in the workplace

What is Healthy Masculinity?

Healthy masculinity is the rejection of harmful stereotypes about what it means to be a man. It encourages emotional expression, vulnerability, and mutual respect, moving away from traditional ideas of masculinity that can lead to toxic behaviors.

How it Applies to the Workplace

In the workplace, promoting healthy masculinity helps break down toxic work environments often characterized by aggression, competition, or emotional suppression. It encourages male employees to embrace emotional intelligence, build better relationships with colleagues, and contribute to a healthier, more supportive work culture.
