Are we truly doing enough to support the nurses who care for us? National Nurses Week, celebrated in May, serves as a crucial reminder of the invaluable contributions nurses make daily. However, the reality is that many nurses are overworked, burned out, and facing challenging workplace conditions year-round.

Administrative Professionals Day is just around the corner, and it's time to celebrate the invaluable contributions of administrative professionals across the country. With over 18.5 million office and administrative support jobs making up 12.2% of total employment, it's clear that these roles are vital to every organization. This year, we’ll be recognizing and honoring the hard work of millions of administrative professionals, including assistants, office coordinators, and executive assistants.

The workplace landscape is evolving rapidly, and employers are grappling with a growing trend: “revenge quitting.” Unlike impulsive "rage quitting," revenge quitting is a calculated response to long-standing dissatisfaction with workplace culture. According to Glassdoor's Worklife Trends 2025 Report, 65% of employees feeling stuck in their current roles are likely to consider revenge quitting this year. 

Employee appreciation isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for retention, productivity, and morale. According to Gallup, employees who feel undervalued are twice as likely to consider quitting within the next year. On the other hand, Workhuman reports that happier employees help their colleagues 33% more often, spend 46% more time on tasks, and report being 65% more energized by their work. To build a motivated and loyal team, thoughtful rewards such as gift cards can make all the difference.

Employees crave more than just a paycheck—they seek connection, shared values, and a sense of belonging. This shift is significant: Gallup’s research highlights that business units with higher employee engagement are a remarkable 23% more profitable than those at the lower end.
