It might sound like a silly theme to celebrate, but the origins of 'Ask a Stupid Question Day' are honourable. During the 1980s, a group of American teachers realised their students weren't asking questions for fear of being ridiculed. They designated a day especially for this, to encourage a safe way for their students to open up and share their curiosity with the class without fear. Could your organisation benefit from a dedicated safe space for employees who may be shy or assume their question is trivial? This can provide valuable insight into areas that may be lacking communication within the workplace and allow you the feedback you need to improve. A workplace Questions & Suggestions box can be a great way to keep this anonymous and available year-round if you feel some employees may be holding back ideas or questions and need to be further supported. Asking questions encourages us all to learn from one another and acquire new knowledge, and can open up some interesting discussions. One person's stupid question could be another person's revelation!

Today we appreciate that being a working parent is tough. Recognise and pay tribute to the employees in your organisation who are juggling it all.

Today we encourage positive thoughts and show gratitude for the simple things in life. Studies show that positive thinking can have a long-lasting effect on our health and wellbeing, especially when it comes to mental health. Your organisation can create a simple plan for making your employees smile and be happy today. Positive affirmations are a great start to the day. Leave a small note with a positive mindset quote or kind words of appreciation on our teams' desks for when they first walk in to start their day. You could play a fun song like Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' over the speakers and encourage everyone to get up and dance. The objective? Bring a smile and spread positivity and happiness.

If someone in your workplace is struggling with life's ups and downs, today is our reminder to ask them if they are okay. The R U OK website has some amazing resources available for your workplace to encourage you to build a culture where everyone feels safe, supported, and encouraged. They want to inspire every workplace to have an R U OK workplace champion, and offer workshops, webinars, and activities to help these champions inspire regular and meaningful conversations. You can get involved by hosting a morning tea or sausage sizzle to raise funds, or offer a lunch workshop to help employees learn strategies for self-care and understanding their own mental health, which can better prepare you to help others.

Today we celebrate coming together to share ideas. Collaboration fosters successful teams. By sharing concepts, new ideas evolve, and paired with other's impressions and knowledge, they can grow and create new opportunities and results. Your organisation can host a brainstorming session to encourage your employees to share and swap ideas. It could be to solve a recurring issue in the workplace, to develop a new product, or refresh an existing policy, strategy, or campaign. Bring your team together to spark new ideas and inspiration.
