In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, Armistice Day is observed and commemorated with a two-minute silence on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.  It marks the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I.    The main service takes place on Remembrance Sunday, as we pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations. 

Career development is the process of learning and utilising short-term skills to progress toward long-term professional goals. This process is often lifelong and involves steadily reaching milestones specific to your designated career path. This highlights the importance and benefits of continual learning and development and focuses on our human capacity to learn, how we can be great lifelong learners and the importance of connection and community for empowered people and dynamic organisations. To ensure that employees’ learning and growth have an impact in the workplace, it is important to link training activities to organisational goals, alongside employee needs and aspirations.

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available. With a large proportion of the workforce experiencing menopause, it is crucial to raise awareness about menopause at work. A menopause policy acknowledges that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution to the menopause and therefore, it is intended as a support guide for all workers. All stakeholders agree to work proactively to make adjustments so the workplace does not make symptoms of the menopause worse. Creating an open environment can aid discussions with employees on sensitive issues concerning their wellbeing and mental health. Managers should be aware of, and trained on, how to tackle difficult conversations with employees. As a reminder, any medical related information is classed as sensitive data and must be stored securely, in adherence to the rules on data protection.
