See how Kinross celebrated ‘Movember’ across our global operations!

In November, Kinross launched its first ‘Movember’ campaign dedicated to raising awareness and taking action to support men’s mental and physical health.

‘Movember’ is the leading global charity changing the face of men’s health year-round. During the month of November, the charity encourages men to grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds to support men’s health.

As Kinross kicked off its first Movember campaign, employees were encouraged to ‘Grow a MO’ and participate in a series of webinars focused on men’s mental health and forms of high-risk men’s health conditions such as prostate and testicular cancer.

At the end of the month, the ‘MO’ awards were held where the GM with the best moustache received a donation to a Movember charity in their site’s name and won a swag package for their site. Congratulations Rodrigo Moscoso, General Manager, Kinross Chile, who received over 75% of the votes for best moustache!

The sites then dedicated one of their ‘7@7’ safety meetings to a culture share that focused on suicide prevention and awareness for men.

In Alaska, employees received blue ribbons and cardboard moustaches to pose with to raise awareness for men’s health. The site also held a ‘moustache poster campaign’ where male employees could share tips with their colleagues on how they stay mentally and physically healthy.

At Kettle River, both male and female employees were encouraged to show off their best moustaches each week, with female employees finding fun ways to ‘Grow a MO’ to bring awareness and share their alliance with men’s health.
