Administrative Professionals Day is April 27, and we’ve come a long way since the day of recognition was instituted. In 1952, National Secretaries Day began, to encourage people to join the career field by extolling the importance of the role. While cultures, values, and corporate environments evolve and change, one thing remains constant – there are people in our organizations who we simply could not live without.

Nearly 9 million people are working in roles that are classified as administrative support. It is clear that these personnel play an integral role in the success of our businesses, as well as the economy as a whole. While the entire last week of the month is set aside to recognize them, Wednesday, April 27 gives us an extraordinary opportunity to make their day!

For National Administrative Professionals Day, many people take their staff to lunch or give gifts. Stadium Flowers suggests a long-lasting gift that will remind them day after day of their importance to the organization. Orchid plants and bamboo arrangements are sophisticated additions to any office environment, and their beauty will last for years. A terrarium or dish garden is a beautiful way to thank your support staff and adds both life and beauty to a home or office.

Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the everyday routines and to forget to do the most important things. This April 27 gives us the opportunity to stop for a moment and thank those that not only exhibit excellence, loyalty, and hard work; but they are truly instrumental in the success of the places they work. Call Stadium Flowers today for ideas on the most popular gifts, flowers, and plants – we deliver throughout the Lynnwood and Everett area and beyond.
