Kindness

Start November with a highlight on men's health for November. Have open discussions with the men in your teams about mental health and wellbeing. If your senior leaders feel comfortable, ask them to talk to their health journey and highlight that asking for help isn't weak.

White Ribbon Day is a respectful moment to stand against violence toward women and commit to safer workplaces. Share clear support pathways (Converge, helplines, DFV leave), run short bystander and respectful-relationships training, refresh policies and reporting options, and invite a simple pledge or moment of reflection—centred on listening, belief, and survivor safety.

For week 3, use Inclusion at Work Week as a chance to spotlight belonging in everyday moments. Share simple actions (allyship pledges, inclusive language tips, accessibility checks), host a short lunch-and-learn with ERGs, and amplify diverse voices through stories and panels. Close the week by capturing feedback and committing to one sustained change.

As we finish up with week 4, we're heading into the holiday season, which can come with money stress. So, promote Financial Coaching to your teams - a topical talking point could be optimise on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (we also have resources on cyber safety).
