How to Honor Hispanic Heritage Month at Work
The best way to honor Hispanic Heritage Month at work is by making space to learn, reflect, and act. That means offering programming that’s inclusive, educational, and easy to participate in.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Just provide 1–2 touchpoints during the month, and make sure employees know you support them—whether they’re part of the Hispanic community or allies.
Our best advice?
Start small. Use a toolkit. Celebrate together.
