National Taco Day (October 4)
Many people love tacos, and what better day to order tacos to the office for lunch than National Taco Day! Choose a local favorite taco spot and have them cater a big selection of tacos for lunch. Add some deliciousness to your day by including National Taco Day in your 2023 workplace events calendar.
World Mental Health Day (October 10)
This day raises awareness about the importance of mental health and is important to have on your workplace events calendar. Health is wealth, including mental health. Use this day to acknowledge that some people may struggle with mental health and destigmatize asking for mental health support. Check your company’s healthcare insurance policies to ensure that mental health is supported, or introduce new policies to support mental health, such as getting a corporate subscription to an online therapy service such as Talkspace or sharing resources such as Two Chairs to help your employees find a therapist that’s right for them.
National Coming Out Day (October 11)
This annual day recognizes and supports those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and celebrates their coming out. In many cities, there are marches organized to support LGBTQ+ rights. You can support this day by celebrating with a fun Pride-themed game, or encourage your employees to attend their local march to support equal rights.
Halloween (October 31)
Halloween is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate and include in our workplace events calendar! Get your company together and have them dress up in costume for a festive occasion. Play some spooky games, whether you organize an in-person round of bobbing for apples or you organize a spooky Halloween trivia for your virtual team.
