Reminder: Bring teddy bears tomorrow
Wednesday, October 13 is National Bring Your Teddy Bear to Work Day.
Invite everyone to bring a teddy bear and tell a story about it. Who knows what you’ll learn about each other with this one?! An interesting way to help people connect.
Another good idea…organize a teddy bear donation (new ones only) for area hospitals, local shelters or upcoming toy drives.
For more great celebrations and ways to put them to work for you and your staff go to 10 October-Only Morale & Productivity Boosters.
We have great celebration ideas for your customers, too. Check out 10 October-Only Marketing Opportunities.

Nutty Idea for CS Week
Are things a bit nutty in your office?
Then here’s a fun thing to do during Customer Service Week…or anytime.
Bring in a barrel of peanuts and post a sign that says: “It gets a little nutty around here sometimes. Isn’t it cool the way we keep each other from cracking?”
Can’t bring in a barrel? Bring in cans. Or individual bags and attach a note to each.
Feel free to print one of the designs below – for your sign and/or for your notes.
