Monthly HR Themes: What Creative Ideas Can You Suggest to Make Them Impactful?

Dear Seniors, Our company has decided to start implementing HR themes every month. I request you to suggest some HR themes that would help me.

Thanks,
Varsha Gaikwad

Dear Varsha,

As shared in your post, we understand that you require arranging events every month. When you plan the themes and work towards those events, please make your goals to be achieved very clear. As Jacob suggested building a calendar, try integrating it with the targets and keep them measurable.

You may decide the goals in alignment with what is required by your organization. It would help you make your efforts far less abrupt and keep the outcome focused.

Wish you all the best!

Regards,

Suggestions for HR Themes

• Improvement of underprivileged individuals by providing education to children (Corporation).

• Improve additional skill learning opportunities each month.

Dear Varsha,

Here are a few tips for you; I hope they will help:

1. You can choose themes based on the month. For example, December could be related to winter, July to summer, and if it's a festive month, make the theme according to the festival.

2. Ensure that each month offers something new, different from the previous month's theme. Selecting a single theme for the whole year could become monotonous. Therefore, having different themes each month will make it more lively.

3. You can choose one theme for each month and repeat it every year. Alternatively, you can make random selections. Hence, all you need to do is decide on a total of 12 themes and repeat them each year or make it a random selection.

4. For November, consider the special days falling in this month. Based on that, organize an event. For example, on the 14th, which is Children's Day, you can encourage your employees to donate something (other than money) to a charity organization or orphanage to help improve the lives of those children. This could include clothes, books, colors, etc.

Hope this helps.

You can create themes with the help of posters, danglers, tent cards, etc. There are varied topics. Business topics like Customer Service, Mission Possible (how to achieve the targets and goals), etc., are good. On the other hand, social topics like Proud to be an Indian, Save a Child, etc., are there. Environmental topics like Go Green, health and safety topics like Fight Obesity, Office Exercises, etc., are again very helpful. Best of luck for your endeavor!
