Have you spotted signs of winter approaching? Have you taken a picture of a recent networking event? Can you share a behind-the-scenes clip of your Christmas preparations to get involved in the run-up to the big day?
The poppies are back; Remembrance Day on the 11th falls on a Monday this year, following by Remembrance Sunday on the 10th.

There are lots of health and well-being events, days, and campaigns this month; Lung Cancer Awareness Month and Men’s health awareness month (you will know it as Movember) run throughout November. Are you growing your beard or trying out a new moustache style? In line with Movember, the 19th is also International Men’s Day, celebrating the value men bring to the world, their families, and communities worldwide. The aim is to highlight good role models and raise the profile of men’s well-being, with one of the pillars of International Men’s Day focusing on improving gender relations and promoting gender equality for men and women.
The 6th is International Stress Awareness Day, something that is a worthwhile cause to post about – how do you, as an employer, combat stress in the workplace to keep on top of well-being and employee morale?
The 11th-15th is anti-bullying week where we see businesses as well as schools across the country come together to highlight the seriousness of bullying and the preventative measures we can put in place.

Encouraging safety, along with the fun and discussions around pets and how they react during the festivities, the 5th of November can be a fantastic way to interact with your audience.
Hug a bear day is on the 7th, and it is a day to give a tight squeeze to your loved ones and your favourite teddy bear…do you still have your childhood bear?!
