Here are our top ideas for content this September.
Labor Day - September 5
Keep it simple - give your team the day off and thank them in a social post.
National Swap Ideas Day - September 10
Host your own Hack Day or Hackathon. You can almost sense some executive eye rolls at the thought of giving teams time away from their work to brainstorm, but company-changing ideas often come from Hack Days. Giving your team time out from their day-to-day and the opportunity to mingle with others they wouldn't normally work with (we recommend no more than two people from each team in a group, depending on company size) is not only a great way to increase innovation, but a great way to bridge any animosity between teams. Working together creates better understanding of roles and responsibilities along with problems and frustrations that often cause division among departments.
Oktoberfest - September 17
Finish work early and host your own version of Oktoberfest, or find an Oktoberfest event and buy your team tickets.
National Dance Day - September 19
Who's the best dancer in your team? Host an office dance-off and find out. If you team is full of left feet then you could always go old school and play musical statues.
International Day of Peace - September 21
This year's theme is End Racism. Build Peace. You can recognize this day on social media by encouraging your audience to self-reflect on what it means to them. You can take action internally on this day by self-reflecting on your company, such as its hiring/promotion processes.
First Day of Fall - September 22
Here are three ideas to celebrate the start of fall:
Buy everyone pumpkin lattes
Go apple picking
Host a pumpkin carving contest
World Tourism Day - September 27
This is most effective for those in the leisure/travel industry such as hotels, travel agents, travel bloggers, excursion operators, attractions. The theme this year is "Rethink Tourism" and the UNTWO offers some great information and inspiration on how to recognize this day.
International Podcast Day - September 30
Thinking about starting a podcast - today is the perfect day to launch! Not quite there yet or already well on your way - share the love and give your favorites a shout out on social media!
