Administrative Professionals Day is right around the corner. This year we will recognize and celebrate over 4 million administrative professionals, office assistants, and other office professionals for their important contributions to the workplace.

Every April we celebrate Administrative Professionals Day, a day to honor the work of the support staff on our team. The holiday has its origins in World War II when administrative professionals were scarce, and a celebration was required not only to honor those occupying positions, but to attract young talent to the profession.

Employee Appreciation Day is an important day of the year, but if you want a bigger impact, you should opt in for showing your appreciation all year long.

The Society for Human Resource Management defines employee engagement as “the connection and commitment employees exhibit toward an organization, leading to higher levels of productive work behaviors.” The reason employee engagement is critical for organizational success and growth is due to its connection to employee satisfaction and retention.

Employers are focused on creating an employee experience that fosters high engagement, productivity, and satisfaction.
