National Employee Appreciation Day


Do you ever find yourself asking "When is Employee Appreciation Day?"

National Employee Appreciation Day occurs annually on the first Friday of the month of March. This year, it falls on Friday, March 4, 2011. If you miss it, don't worry, the entire month of March is also Employee Spirit Month!

According to the website recognition.org...
Employee Appreciation Day first arrived on calendars in 1995.  A Recognition Professionals International’s founding Board member, 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.

While Starbucks may not be everyone's cup of tea (or coffee), almost anyone can enjoy a popular restaurant or bookstore.
