Show & Tell At Work Day
Sharing quirky collections and untold stories from life outside the office adds a dash of color to those mundane meetings.
Encourage workplace culture and team bonding by positioning your brand as a facilitator of authentic employee connections and personal expression at work.
- Share your team's hidden talents: spotlight employee collections and hobbies through internal newsletters or social media
- Office icebreaker kits: promote conversation starters or display items that help colleagues bond over shared interests
- Workplace culture content: create guides on building inclusive, fun team environments that celebrate individuality
- Employee spotlight series: use the day to launch internal recognition campaigns featuring staff passions outside their job roles
This is another brainchild of Thomas and Ruth Roy, creators and proprietors of Wellcat Holidays and founders of a number of wacky and fun holidays. We can say why Show and Tell at Work Day exists: it’s simply to provide adults with the same sort of fun opportunities to play show and tell that elementary school kids have. After all, who doesn’t like to show off?
Bring Something to Work
We think that you can probably think of something that’s important or interesting to you that you might just want to share with your colleagues. Now you have the perfect excuse to bring it to office and show it off to everyone there, and they might just be as interested in it as you. Even if they aren’t, well, it was worth a try and now you’ll have a better idea of what to show everyone next time around.
Share With Others
But wait, let’s assume that you’re the only person in your workplace who actually knows that there’s such a thing as Show and Tell at Work Day! Therefore, you need to enlighten all of your friends and colleagues about this fact. So you could just simply bring something interesting to work and start talking about it, or you could let everyone know beforehand by sending emails or even e-cards (e-card companies are very good about noticing the existence of holidays like this, so you shouldn’t have much trouble finding an appropriate e-card if you just look). Okay, we think you get the idea, so now go and play show and tell with your colleagues.
