SOFTSWISS Joins Movember Foundation to Champion Men’s Health
In a spirited show of support for men’s health, SOFTSWISS, a globally recognized tech supplier, has actively participated in the Movember Foundation’s charity campaign this November. The Movember movement, which began in 2003 in Australia, has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, encouraging men to grow moustaches and beards to raise awareness about critical health issues, particularly oncology.
Movember’s Global Impact and Ambitious Goal
The Movember campaign has significantly grown since its inception, with more than 6.5 million participants globally by 2020. The movement’s ambitious aim is to reduce premature male mortality by 25% by 2030, with a strong focus on combating health issues such as prostate cancer, a major concern in male oncology.
SOFTSWISS’s Involvement and Initiatives
Within SOFTSWISS, the Movember spirit resonated deeply, with male employees actively partaking in the moustache and beard growing challenge, as well as the MOVEmber Step challenge. This involvement underscores the company’s commitment to encouraging men to prioritize their health.
The company also facilitated a unique opportunity for all global participants to engage with a urology and andrology specialist, providing them with valuable insights and recommendations on male health care. To further support this initiative, SOFTSWISS’s management organized healthy breakfasts across all offices and prepared special rewards for participants. These included sports souvenir boxes for step challenge winners and a barbershop visit for those who successfully grew their facial hair throughout the month.
