Employee Appreciation Day is March 5th and is a great opportunity to show appreciation for employees. For those returning to the office in person, the risks they are taking during the pandemic need to be acknowledged and employers need to ensure employees feel safe in their workplace. For employees who are working from home, there are no more “office perks” that benefit or enhance the employee experience, so it is important for employers to find creative ways to show appreciation for their staff’s hard work and effort throughout the year. Making adjustments like moving certain office perks, like a fitness class to Zoom, can go a long way in strengthening the relationship between the employer and employee. 

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 year Employee Appreciation Day falls on the first Friday in March. It's a practice that is not only important influence on your productivity, bottom line, and turnover, it's also something you should be focusing on every day.

With 92 percent of companies eyeing organizational design changes to accommodate the growing millennial workforce, it's important to show these employees appreciation in a multitude of ways to keep them engaged.

With employers seemingly focused on appeasing the constantly changing needs of millennials these days, Generation X employees can sometimes be overlooked in the appreciation department.
