Employee Appreciation Day (10 Things We Do)
Employee Appreciation Day (10 Things We Do)
2025 marks the thirtieth year of Employee Appreciation Day; the first Friday in March.
As leaders, you show your employees your appreciation by trusting them, paying them fairly, choosing policies to help them thrive and praising them for the work they do: your appreciation shows in the happy healthy workplace that you create.
However, we do get the point of a little extra effort now and then to cherish these real live humans who make up the beating heart of your organisation.
Here are 10 ideas (big and small) that we’ve tried and tested at Boo!
-
Post them a hand-written card
-
Tell them why you think they’re brilliant
-
Give them a bonus day off on their birthday
-
Buy an office picnic
-
Send flowers
-
Treat them to an annual subscription (for example, for Headspace)
-
Plan a team trip or retreat
-
Do a creative workshop together
-
Celebrate their birthday on social media
-
Share a quote of theirs – we’ve had quotes as mugs, artwork, coasters, postcards or even just as graphics to share on social media.
