Harmony Day, celebrated annually on 21 March, is a day that brings Australians together to celebrate cultural diversity and inclusivity. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge the vibrant mix of cultures that make up our communities and workplaces while promoting respect, belonging, and understanding.
At Cleancorp, we take Harmony Day to heart - it reflects the values of diversity and collaboration that are core to our team. This year, we’re embracing the spirit of Harmony Day with some fun activities, and we’d love to share how we’re celebrating while encouraging others to join in!
Harmony Day is held on 21 March every year, coinciding with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It’s a day to celebrate Australia’s cultural diversity, acknowledge the contributions of multicultural communities, and reinforce the importance of inclusivity in all areas of life.
The overarching message is “Everyone Belongs.” It’s a reminder that inclusivity strengthens our communities, and every individual, no matter their background, has a role to play in creating a welcoming and supportive environment.
Orange is the official colour of Harmony Day. It symbolises social communication, meaningful conversations, and mutual respect. Wearing orange on Harmony Day is a simple but powerful way to show your support for cultural diversity and inclusion.
At Cleancorp, diversity isn’t just something we celebrate - it’s who we are. Our team is made up of individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, working together to create cleaner, healthier spaces for our clients.
We believe that when people from different backgrounds collaborate, it fosters innovation, creativity, and understanding. Harmony Day is a chance to celebrate the rich diversity of our team and recommit to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued and respected.
We’re excited to celebrate Harmony Day in meaningful and fun ways this year, and we’d love for you to join us in the spirit of the day.
Our team will be dressing in orange on Harmony Day to show our support for cultural diversity and inclusivity. Keep an eye on our social media to see photos of our team rocking their best orange outfits!
Food is a universal language that brings people together. To celebrate the many cultures that make up our team, we’re hosting a Harmony Day potluck lunch where everyone is invited to bring a dish that represents their cultural heritage. It’s a delicious way to learn more about each other’s backgrounds and share our stories.
We’ll be encouraging our team members to share their personal stories, traditions, and experiences that highlight the richness of their cultural heritage. These moments help us all understand and appreciate each other better.
Follow us on Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn to see how we’re celebrating Harmony Day. From our potluck spread to our team’s orange outfits, we’ll be sharing highlights throughout the day.
