Saying “thank you” to a staff member doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve shown your appreciation for their hard work. However, Administrative Professionals’ Day allows employers to express their gratitude to the administrative assistants, secretaries, and receptions who, are the key to keeping the office afloat and helping the boss remain on schedule.

The holiday, which is also known as Admin Day or Secretaries Day, can be celebrated by giving an assistant a gift such as a free lunch or a gift basket. There are also other unique ways to applaud your employee for doing a good job.
