Even though I work from home and have a
Working From Home blog I know that there are still many, many people who work outside of the home and who also work for other companies big and small.
That's why I can appreciate such a day as Employee Appreciation Day which honors employees everywhere. (Just in case you're wondering, yes, there is also a Boss's Day which occurs in September too).
Here is an excerpt about Employee Appreciation Day
"Celebrations today should be created and executed by your company. Recognitions vary widely, and may include a lunch, snack, cakes, or other munchies, and small recognition gifts. Don't expect a day off. Chances are, it just won't happen.
Origin of "Employee Appreciation Day" -
According to David Nuualiitia "Employee Appreciation Day first arrived on calendars in 1995. One of Recognition Professionals International’s founding Board members, Bob Nelson, together with his publishing company, Workman Publishing, created Employee Appreciation Day as a way of focusing the attention of all employers, in all industries on employee recognition."
There are a lot of local and company specific celebrations for Employee Day and week. They are spread across the year.
