April 18 - 24 is Administrative Professionals’ Week (April 21 is Administrative Professionals’ Day) this year and one of the main reasons for celebrating this week is to recognize the loyalty and hard work demonstrated by administrative professionals. I have a few recognition ideas to share this week so that readers can consider a variety of options when it comes to rewarding loyalty during this holiday.
Preselected Recognition Awards
In some situations where a manager works closely with an administrative professional, the manager might have a good idea for a recognition award that their employee would really appreciate. In these cases, one of the simplest ways to reward loyalty is to preselect a recognition award from a reward catalog. In our catalog for example, any item in a given price point includes shipping to any address in the contiguous United States making budgeting easy for management. By ordering the recognition awards a couple weeks ahead of time, managers can have the awards on hand to present to administrative professionals during this holiday.
Traditional Recognition Packages
If you are looking to give an administrative professional a choice as to their loyalty reward without a lot of hassle, selecting traditional recognition packages might be a preferred solution. Recognition packages can be customized for an organization and personalized with each employee’s name. Once ordered, recognition packages arrive in about a week and can be presented to staff members during Administrative Professionals’ Week. Recognition awards selected by each recipient are subsequently shipped from the award provider making the administration of this program very simple.
Loyalty Reward Programs
Although loyalty reward programs are a bit more complex than the previous two options, having an ongoing loyalty program is an excellent way to reward employees over the long term. Loyalty reward programs can be online-based or print-based and allow managers to distribute points to employees on a regular basis. In addition to rewarding administrative professionals during this holiday, service anniversaries, contract renewals, referrals and even customer loyalty components can be easily incorporated in a point program. Participants of loyalty reward program are able to spend or bank their points earned and redeem their points for rewards in a variety of price points. Loyalty reward programs have a lot of flexibility and give participants the most choice as to how their loyalty is rewarded.
From a simple preselect award program to a more complex loyalty reward programs, your organization is certainly not limited when it comes to celebrating Administrative Professionals’ Week. The main point of this holiday is to leave a lasting impression of how important the contributions and loyalty of administrative professionals are to your company.
