How to Observe Halloween in the Workplace

We recommend reading our article Celebrating Halloween at Work, which covers:

  • Avoiding cultural appropriation costumes that represent a specific ethnicity, such as Mexican culture and the “sombrero” or wearing a headdress which is representative of the Indigenous Culture.

  • Pumpkin carving & ghost stories are a classic tradition for Halloween and are easy to do in an inclusive manner in the workplace
