Gift Giving on Administrative Professionals' Day - Corporate Gift Baskets

When it comes to Administrative Professional’s Day—which falls on April 22nd—there can be some confusion over who qualifies as an “administrative professional,” as well as a myriad of other questions involving: How much should you spend? Are there corporate rules regarding gift giving? What do you give? Whom should you acknowledge? Should I give a personalized gift basket?

While these questions may seem a bit stressful, if you pause for a moment to consider all of the people who make your work easier, understanding who qualifies as an administrative professional may take less time than you’d think.

For starters, it’s generally wise to recognize everyone from receptionists and clerks to your personal assistant or the person who handles your website/social media presence. In general, if they help increase your personal productivity and easily come to mind, it’s probably wise to include them in the recognition process.

From there, you may be wondering the best way to distinguish your administrative professionals, so it’s wise to consider the following advice:

1. After making sure there are no limitations on employee gift giving at your company, you can base the amount of money you spend upon each individual employee’s length of service and level of performance. Generally speaking, less than five years of service warrants a $25-$50 gift, while longer assistance would require a larger investment.

2. When selecting the perfect gift, your goal is to elicit a smile. In other words, you’ll want to give something that the recipient will be excited to receive—especially if it’s not something they would buy for themselves.

3. Don’t forget the card! The purpose of your gift is to express your gratitude, so including a handwritten note is extremely important. If you truly cannot complete your job without this person’s assistance, then say so and make it genuine.
