National Receptionists Appreciation Day is the perfect time for companies to take a few minutes and recognize everything receptionists do for their business. First established in 1991, the holiday is now celebrated by companies around the world on the second Wednesday in May.
The goal of this holiday is to recognize the important role receptionists play in the business. They are typically the first ones to greet a potential customer or client, and are even considered the “face” of the company on occasion.
The holiday gives receptionists a chance to connect with their colleagues from around the world, and it also helps to promote the pride they feel in the key role they play in the company.
Many businesses also like to show their appreciation for the hard work and effort put forth by their receptionist and one of the best ways is to present them with a small gift or token of thanks.
Whether the gift is given in private or at a company function, it is important to remember receptionists on their special day.
