Administrative Professionals’ Day has become one of the most broadly celebrated workplace holidays.
Companies observe the date through community events, social gatherings, and individual corporate activities, recognizing support staff with awards, gifts, and prizes.
Administrative workers have always been indispensable, but in the post-pandemic workplace, responsibilities have shifted, making them more essential than ever.
Technology — Administrative staff tends to be the initial users of new technologies with the added role of trainers for coworkers.
Human resources — HR has become a more strategic function in most organizations. The increasing burdens of open enrollment, payroll, and remote employee management demands more from HR professionals adding new HR-related responsibilities to administrative roles.
Internal customer service — Just as customer expectations are rising externally, organizations are looking for administrative professionals to follow suit for the people and teams they work with internally.
Project management — Today’s administrative worker’s new environment requires leadership as problem-solvers with the initiative to find new or better ways to operate across many departments in cross-team collaboration, including with senior executives and project leaders.
Reinforce your message with a small token of appreciation.
Here are some sample messages to get you started – Sample Messages
Mix merchandise, gift cards, local gift cards, and virtual and payment options.
When administrative professionals receive extra time off they are able to recharge and rejuvenate, which can help them return to work feeling refreshed and more productive.
Time off shows that employers appreciate their employees’ hard work.
By offering extra paid time off, managers can show their support for their employees and their commitment to their wellbeing.
Team building activities help employees to feel more connected to their coworkers and the company, improving employee morale and job satisfaction. They provide a fun and relaxed environment for employees to get to know each other outside of work tasks and can lead to better teamwork and collaboration.
On Administrative Professionals’ Day, it can be especially meaningful to show appreciation by organizing a team-building activity that highlights the important role that administrative professionals play in the organization. This could include a team happy hour, lunch, or a fun activity, such as a cooking class, a game night, or a virtual trivia competition. The key is to create a fun and inclusive atmosphere where everyone can relax, have a good time and feel appreciated.
Have an employee recognition event in your department – virtually or in person. It can be any sort of formal or informal gathering organized to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and contributions of administrative professionals.
Include presentations and awards to highlight specific folks in the department to show appreciation for their hard work and dedication and to help foster a positive work environment.
These can be done virtually by sending out gift cards for food delivery — plan prizes for those who are recognized. Let them choose from merchandise, gift cards, and payments. Don’t forget local gift card options.
Training, learning, and development opportunities provide administrative professionals with career growth opportunities and increases their value to the company.
Offering training and development opportunities, such as workshops, conferences, and online courses, can also show employees that their employer is invested in their success and well-being and helps keep employees engaged and motivated, which can lead to higher job satisfaction and better job performance.
Providing employees with opportunities to learn and develop new skills can also help to prepare them for new challenges and responsibilities within the organization. Greater job satisfaction, improved morale, and a more positive work environment are the result.
One of the best ways to make your administrative rockstars feel like their job is crucial is to invest in ways that make work more efficient, and easier. Your admins will be more energized, have more time for other tasks, and feel recognized.
If you’re managing a department, ask your team to help identify potential areas for investment.
