Easter Monday is the day after Easter Sunday and a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is not a bank holiday in Scotland, so teams there may be working.

Newsletter blurb

Paste into this week's issue.

Monday is Easter Monday, a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but not in Scotland, where many colleagues will be working as usual. If you work across the UK or internationally, check [holiday calendar] before booking meetings, and agree cover for anything urgent. With a four-day weekend for many, plan handovers before you leave so nothing gets stuck. We'll be back with the next issue once everyone has returned.

Slack / Teams post

For the company channel on the day.

Reminder that Monday is Easter Monday, a bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland but not in Scotland. Please check who's around before booking anything.

Talking points

For managers and team leads.

- Remember that Easter Monday is not a bank holiday in Scotland. - Plan handovers before the long weekend and agree cover for urgent work. - Avoid deadlines on the Tuesday straight after the break.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

Treat it mainly as a scheduling note. Make sure colleagues in Scotland and other countries, who may be working, aren't left out of the loop.

How to feature this in your newsletter

  1. Plan ahead — Add Easter Monday to your content calendar at least 2 weeks before the date so you have time to gather content and images.
  2. Choose your angle — Will you run a dedicated special edition, or include it as a section in your regular newsletter? Bigger events work well as specials; smaller ones fit into your weekly digest.
  3. Involve your people — Ask employees to share their stories, experiences, or ideas related to Easter Monday. User-generated content always gets higher engagement.
  4. Include a call to action — Give readers something to do: attend an event, share a message, learn something new, or donate to a cause.
