Workplace awareness days
July 2026 offers organisations a range of opportunities to support diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, sustainability and skills development. By recognising awareness campaigns such as Plastic Free July, Disability Pride Month, South Asian Heritage Month and International Self-Care Day, employers can create meaningful conversations, strengthen employee engagement and demonstrate their commitment to a positive workplace culture. RHG Consult helps organisations turn awareness into action through practical wellbeing, DEI and organisational development initiatives.
So let’s dive in a little deeper into these key dates – Disability Pride Month and South Asian Heritage Month, provide opportunities to promote inclusion, recognise diverse experiences and cultures, and strengthen our sense of belonging.

As a B Corp, RHG is also proud to support Plastic Free July, a global movement encouraging individuals and organisations to reduce plastic waste through simple everyday actions. Employers can use the campaign to raise awareness of sustainability, support ESG goals and encourage environmentally responsible workplace practices, such as reducing single-use plastics, increasing recycling and promoting reusable alternatives.
With lots more key dates across the month that align with our workplace culture of diversity and inclusion, we encourage you to read and explore more on the calendar below.
And if that wasn’t enough, that little thing we mentioned last month – the football World Cup – is still ongoing and reaches its conclusion this month. Plus of course the quintessentially English Summer event… Wimbledon!
