Join us in celebrating World Gratitude Day, September 21^st! What even is World Gratitude Day, you say? I know the word gratitude starts to look funny if you look at it long enough. Repeating it over and over, it starts to sound funny too.  But, it’s not a day that should be looked over or laughed at because it’s a day of recognition and realization! A day not only to recognize those around you but to recognize yourself! It’s even meant to bring awareness to your environment and bring a moment of appreciation to even that. If you are interested about the history of this wonderful day and how it started, check it out here.

We’ve all seen them. The Employee of the Month plaques hung with pride for all to see in retail stores, restaurants and offices alike. The plaque is displayed to demonstrate the priority the organization places on its people. After all, people are our greatest assets. 

But what message does it send when that plaque is hanging empty and covered in dust? Not a good one.

While people do enjoy the extra money and added perks that incentives provide (as we talked about in this post last week), many receive greater satisfaction from knowing someone valued their contributions.

Administrative Professionals’ Day is tomorrow!
