Ultimate HR Calendar 2024: Key Dates (+How To Celebrate Them)

As an HR professional, starting the new year by finding, curating, and planning for the upcoming events in the coming months is a not-so-fun start. To make that task easier for you, we have curated an HR Calendar 2024 that contains a comprehensive list of holidays, special events, and culturally significant moments that you should mark (and plan for) in 2024.

From New Year's Day to Christmas— commemorating even some of these holidays can, in some way, become a team tradition that takes your company culture to the next level. We've also added some extra advice as a bonus to help you make the occasion extra special for your employees.

So, without any further ado, let's dive right in.

The Comprehensive 2024 HR Calendar That Needs To Be Pinned Up

January

National Hobby Month

What do Gmail, Unsplash, and Twitter have in common? All of them were side projects! Hobbies and passions can produce something beautiful that can often change the course of the world.

Set up a mini challenge for National Hobby Month where you ask your team to dedicate an hour of every workday to a hobby and show it off at the end of the month. Assign a prize (preferably monetary) for the best entry.

National Thank You Month

Set up a bulletin board where employees can pin up their thank you messages for the person who is their biggest supporter in the workplace. Alternatively, suppose you don’t want things to be anonymous. In that case, you can ask your employees to write a virtual message for the peer(s) they appreciate and share it in your company’s main communication channels for all to see.

World Introvert Day: January 2, 2024, Tuesday

To commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, assemble your team to volunteer and carry out acts of service for underprivileged communities, organize food drives, and educate your people about how racism persists in all aspects of our society.

Mentors usually work behind the scenes, but on Thank Your Mentor Day, they deserve to be lauded and appreciated with the spotlight on them for once.
