The Evolution of Administrative Professionals Week Gift Etiquette
In the past, employers celebrated "National Secretaries Week" by taking their secretaries to lunch or gifting flowers and candy. However, the landscape of workplace gift-giving has shifted, and what is now called "Administrative Professionals Week" brings new challenges in terms of appropriate gifting, according to human resources experts.
Daniel Karpelman, an expert editor in gifting advice at GiftCertificates.com, explains, “There’s growing concern about what’s suitable for a boss to give an employee. Are flowers too personal? Is taking your admin out for lunch and cocktails crossing a line? In today’s workplace, bosses are wary of etiquette breaches or potential liabilities.”
The right corporate gifts can motivate and reward employees while fostering organizational commitment. Thoughtful gifts demonstrate effort and enhance appreciation among staff. Karpelman suggests that a gift certificate to a favorite store is ideal. It acknowledges diverse interests and offers choice, especially when paired with a handwritten note recognizing their hard work.
If you're uncertain about your staff's preferences, consider a SuperCertificate from GiftCertificates.com. This option allows employees to enjoy a virtual shopping spree at over 200 top stores and restaurants, including options like clothing, jewelry, electronics, and more. SuperCertificates are easy to send, don't expire, and can even be emailed.
Karpelman advises that while it's natural for coworkers to compare gifts, the monetary value doesn't need to be identical for everyone. “Discrepancies in gifts could lead to hurt feelings, but it’s appropriate for long-standing employees to receive more significant gifts than newer staff members.”
Whether you call them secretaries or administrative professionals, exceptional ones are the backbone of a well-run organization. This year, Administrative Professionals Week is from April 23-29. Seize this opportunity to express your appreciation with a gift that is both suitable and meaningful.
