Administrative Professionals Day is April 25, 2018, is an important time for businesses to appreciate and recognize the hard work of their office support and administrative professionals.
Contrary to popular belief, Administrative Professionals Day was not invented by Hallmark. It was created in 1952 to recognize the importance administrative personnel played and continues to play in the economy. During World War II, the workforce saw an increase for administrative professionals. Thus formed the National Secretaries Association, now International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), was formed.
So as Administrative Professionals Day and Week draws near, you are not sure how to celebrate? Are you struggling to come up with creative ideas to reward your amazing administrative professionals?
1. Team building activities
Team building is a great idea if you’re rewarding a larger group of administrative professionals. From city-wide scavenger hunts to a Game Show Feud, there are many engaging and fun activities for your employees to participate in.
In addition to rewarding your employees with a fun activity outside of the office, team building activities can also help build confidence in employees and boost overall performance. On a larger level, these types of activities can grow a strong organizational culture. Employees develop deeper relationships and learn to work better with each other.
You can even extend the time off and offer a couple of paid vacation days. They can use to take a small trip somewhere with friends or family.
In return, your admin won’t just appreciate the personalized gift, but be more motivated in their work. They will know that upper management values them and their skills.
In addition, at BEST, we offer many corporate training and professional development workshops. From time management to conflict resolution workshops, we can help your employees develop the necessary core competencies needed in today’s business environment.
