Administrative Professional’s day is on the last Wednesday in April of each year, this year it’s on Wednesday April 22nd. It used to be known as Secretaries Day, but the name has changed along with the profession. What can you do to make this day special for your dedicated staff? I put together a list of ideas to help you celebrate Administrative
Professionals Day, and show your crew how important they are to you and your company.
- Order in lunch from their favorite restaurant, on you. Better yet if you have the opportunity, take them to their favorite restaurant for an out of the office lunch.
- Order in a “Thank You” cake or cupcakes, and have an end of day party.
- If you want to reward your employees with a gift to show your appreciation gift cards for restaurants, a nice gift basket, or a day of pampering would be a big hit.
- Decorate with some flowers, streamers, or a little confetti on the desks.
- Hang a thank you banner across the door, or place a thank you card on each desk for them to discover when they come in the door. Handmade cards are a nice gesture, or a giant card signed by all the staff members.
Next week is actually Administrative Assistant’s week, so you can spread your celebration out and do a little each day. Most busy offices don’t have time to shut down for a celebration, so celebrate while you work and make the whole week special.
How do you celebrate Administrative Assistant’s Day, or Secretaries Day as it’s still fondly known as? Feel free to share your ideas.
