This year, our RED Pack once again came together to support an issue that continues to impact families, workplaces and communities across Australia.
The industries we recruit for, such as construction, trades, resources, manufacturing and technical services, are can be male-dominated. These sectors experience some of the highest rates of mental health challenges, suicide risk, and stigma around seeking help. Movember gives us a platform to break down those barriers and start conversations that often do not happen until it is too late.
Throughout November, our teams embraced the challenge. From the fresh first week shaves to the mid month progress shots, the enthusiasm was matched by a shared purpose. It was not just about growing moustaches. It was about raising awareness of depression, anxiety, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. These issues affect far too many men, both in our workforce and in the communities we serve.
RED has supported Movember for many years, and it remains a cause close to our values of care, inclusion and genuine connection. We believe in checking in on people, staying close throughout their placements, and looking beyond the job itself. Movember reinforces the importance of those everyday actions.
To our RED Pack, clients, candidates and community members who donated, shared updates, or simply supported a conversation, thank you. Your efforts help create safer, healthier workplaces for men across Australia.
