NOTABLE DATES: 

National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) has the lead in planning NDEAM activities and materials to increase the public's awareness of the contributions and skills of American workers with disabilities. Various programs carried out throughout the month also highlight the specific employment barriers that still need to be addressed and removed. To receive resources on this topic, please visit our Seasonal Express Request page and select key term FALL: DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH/MENTORING DAY.

Halloween at the Office
While costume contests or pumpkin carving seem innocuous, HR managers need to ensure that the celebrations respect the diverse opinions of employees about the holiday and that no one feels pressured to participate. Other employees may object to Halloween parties simply because they see such events as frivolous and inappropriate for the workplace. One way to avoid complaints about frivolity is to tie the fun to something important in the company’s culture, such as team-building. To receive resources on this topic, please visit our Seasonal Express Request page and select key term FALL: HALLOWEEN & THE WORKPLACE.
