We celebrate it every year on the first Friday of March Employee Thanksgiving Day. In 2021, the date of the celebration falls on March 5. The event appeared in 1995 on the initiative of Bob Nelson, a member of Recognition Professionals International.

The purpose of Employee Appreciation Day is to draw the attention of employers to the importance of the work of employees, as well as to mutual respect. After all, a respectful attitude increases the employee’s productivity and makes him happier.

The holiday is actively celebrated in Canada, the USA and Great Britain, but every boss from anywhere on the planet can join the initiative, simply by doing something nice for their subordinates. For example, organize fun team building or just have dinner together in a cozy place, give a nice present or arrange a short working day. There are many options for celebration, the main thing is attention and sincere warm words of thanks. Good attitude towards each other, support and gratitude can create a strong friendly team.
