Men's Health Week - day six

Men’s Health Week is almost over but it is important to always prioritise your health and well-being.

Day 6: Workplace productivity

Men spend a significant portion of their lives in the workplace. Optimal health positively affects productivity, job satisfaction and overall performance.
