Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Calendar for 2022

This month is marked to honor the diverse history of Native-American communities. November was selected as the month of celebration since it is also home to Thanksgiving, a holiday whose origins are often misunderstood.

Hey, the fellas need a little awareness, too! This month-long fundraiser is meant to bring attention to health concerns men commonly face, from mental health struggles to prostate cancer and raise money for related charities.

Held the first Wednesday each November, this holiday was founded by Carole Spiers to help people better understand the role stress plays in their lives and to focus on ways to reduce stress.

Started in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, this day focuses on empathy and just being good to each other. It’s a great time to focus on the little and big ways we could be a little kinder to each other – and to ourselves.

Another observance launched by the United Nations, this day is meant to bring awareness to how we react to people from other cultures, with differing religions, languages and abilities and more.

This day celebrates both Dutch-American culture and its peoples, but also the relationship between the United States and the Netherlands.

Here is the second International Stand up to Bullying Day of 2022. Use this day to focus on how we can cut back on bullying and bullying-like behaviors in the workplace.

It’s fitting to celebrate International Men’s Day the same month as Movember. This date is used to recognize the achievements of men and hold high the men in our lives.

This is an incredibly somber day commemorating the victims of trans-targeted hate crimes and the ways in which transphobia kills.
