<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSeveral years ago, Movember became a mustache-growing movement to bring awareness to men\u2019s health issues. It has since transformed into No Shave November in many areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the month, many companies encourage men to ditch their razors for charity throughout the month of November.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>How to get around shaving for work?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you find yourself working where a no-beard policy is already in place, is there any workaround? Can you get away with abandoning the razor every morning? Maybe not immediately, but it is possible to inspire change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your workplace has a strict no-beard policy in place, you might be able to get around shaving by offering to wear a beard cover. This immediate strategy may not work everywhere.

<\/span>Organize a petition<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf other employees in your company support a change in beard policy, start a petition. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is easy to do with sites like change.org.

Your facial hair is finally a contender for beard-of-the-month status, but what happens if your employer wants you to give it the axe?
