Key Highlights
- Masculinity is in decline as males have lower testosterone levels and fewer sperm cells.

The Declining Male Factor in Business Success
Masculinity is not just about machismo or traditional gender roles. According to Dr. Ewa Kempisty-Jeznach, a pioneering specialist in men’s medicine, it’s also about hormones and health.
Her latest insights reveal a worrying trend: the male hormone testosteron is on the decline.
“We are seeing a dramatic decrease,” she notes bluntly. “In my practice, the number of viable sperm cells has plummeted from 70% to just 4%. And the levels of testosterone in men have dropped by around 30% over the past half-century.”
The Business Implications of Lower Testosterone
Testosteron is no trivial matter. It’s a crucial hormone for decision-making, energy, and overall well-being. With lower levels, men are less likely to perform optimally in both their personal lives and professional endeavors.
“Satisfaction with sex impacts business success,” Kempisty-Jeznach points out with a hint of skepticism. “It’s not just about having sex; it’s about the quality that leads to better work.”
The HR Challenge: Male Reproductive Health as a Benefit
HR departments are increasingly recognizing the importance of male health, particularly reproductive health. Kempisty-Jeznach advocates for making routine checks and treatments accessible.
“Men should have their testosterone levels checked annually,” she advises. “This is part of every man’s comprehensive health package.”
The Future of Workforce Health
With fewer children being born each year, the business world faces an impending crisis. By 2035, there may not be enough workers to sustain the current workforce.
“It’s a ticking time bomb,” says Kempisty-Jeznach. “HR must start considering reproductive health as a critical benefit.”
The future of business success hinges on addressing male health issues before they become an insurmountable challenge.
