For the second consecutive year, SOFTSWISS has proudly joined the global Movember initiative, a movement dedicated to raising awareness about men’s health issues. This year’s campaign under the powerful slogan “Talk It Out! Act It Out!” encourages open discussions about mental health and fosters a culture of mutual support among employees.
In a heartfelt show of solidarity, the male members of SOFTSWISS’ team – including colleagues from Poland – actively participated in the traditional Movember challenge of growing moustaches and beards throughout November. This visible gesture helps shine a spotlight on the critical issues of men’s mental and physical health, including cancer and other severe conditions.
