As Movember comes to a close, many men will be shaving their mustaches tomorrow, but the positive effects of this campaign are likely to last. Movember is a campaign in which men grow mustaches to promote awareness and raise funds to fight prostate and testicular cancer during November.
While people are more likely to undergo cancer screenings during awareness months, such as Movember and October's Breast Cancer Month, returning to work can also help with the healing process, says Michael Klachefsky, national practice leader of The Standard, a provider of financial products and services.

This can help those employees recovery even faster than if they stayed at home.
