Frequently Asked Questions
Why should my organisation track awareness days and cultural calendar dates?
Building your event calendar, comms plan or ERG programme around key dates gives HR and culture teams a ready-made reason to spark conversation, and gives employees a moment to feel seen. It also makes it easier to plan speaker bookings and internal campaigns well in advance rather than scrambling the week of.
How far ahead should I plan for an awareness day or cultural observance?
Aim to book a speaker or plan an activation at least 6-8 weeks ahead of the date itself, longer for popular dates like World Mental Health Day or Pride Month, when speaker diaries fill up fastest.
How do I find the right speaker for a specific awareness day?
Start with the theme, not the date. A mental health awareness day calls for a different speaker to a DEI or veterans' observance. Browse PepTalk's full roster or get in touch and we'll match you with the right expert.
