Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. Now in its 21st year, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, and it is estimated that by 2030 the rate of men dying prematurely will reduce by 25%. You can easily take part in this life-saving cause by heading to the Movember website and registering your support. Use this month to encourage your male staff to book in those vital health checks and to take care of themselves.

Did you know that the most expensive sandwich ever sold was a grilled toasty that seemed to have an image of the Virgin Mary on it? It sold for USD28,000 in 2004. Luckily, here in Australia you don't need a small loan to purchase everyone's favourite lunchtime snack. Celebrate Sandwich Day in your office with an informal get-together at lunch. Order in, or ask each team member to bring in one ingredient and employees can assemble their own favourites.
