Employee Appreciation Day & Administrative Professionals Day

I’ve often been asked about the difference between Employee Appreciation Day and Administrative Professionals Day (or Admin Appreciation Day), so here’s a quick breakdown:

Employee Appreciation Day

Typically the first Friday in March, it's a celebration for all employees. A chance to recognize dedication and boost morale company-wide. This year: March 7, 2025.

Admin Appreciation Day

Held on the last Wednesday of April, it's dedicated to administrative professionals—those who keep everything running behind the scenes. This year: April 23, 2025.

Also, Remember International Women’s Day (March 8, 2025)
