Transform the workplace into a realm of appreciation as you celebrate Teacher's Day. Recognise the valuable contributions of mentors and educators within your team. Consider organising a heartfelt appreciation ceremony, where colleagues can share anecdotes and express gratitude for the guidance and inspiration provided. Deck the office with touches of academia, creating an atmosphere that honors the dedication and impact of teachers in shaping both minds and careers.
Suggested activities: eat with family, host families at the workplace
One of four designated days each year, and held on the last Friday of each school term, the idea is to encourage organisations to allow employees to leave work early at 5pm to enjoy a meal with their families and children. Some ideas include going a step further to have the families over for lunch and activities at the workplace.
Suggested activities: child at work day, parent-child excursions
As the September School Holidays approach, usher in the fall season with a family-friendly workplace touch. Plan engaging activities for kids, perhaps a 'Farm-to-Desk Day' with fresh produce and farm-themed fun. Designate a 'Family-Focused Friday' at the office, encouraging flexible schedules and time off for family adventures during this enriching school break.
