April 23 kicks off Administration Professionals Appreciation Week (or, as it\u2019s known in the biz, AdminPro Week). Administrative professionals can be the undersung heroes of any workplace \u2013 the multi-talented connective tissue without whom many offices would collapse. (Of course, some just celebrate Administrative Professionals Day<\/em> \u2013 we think an entire week is warranted.)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for some smart ways to reward your\u00a0administrative professionals, consider these gift ideas\u00a0\u2013 they\u2019ll go so much further than a mug or box of chocolates.<\/p>\n

Standing desk mat<\/h3>\n

Do your admins have\u00a0standing\u00a0desks? While\u00a0standing\u00a0desks\u00a0are a great remedy for back pain, an anti-fatigue mat for a standing desk<\/a> goes a long way to making these\u00a0desks\u00a0actually comfortable. Choose the best\u00a0standing\u00a0desk\u00a0mat for your admins.<\/p>\n

Chair massage<\/h3>\n

Your admins work hard, and they deserve a chance to unwind in the office. That\u2019s where Zeel Corporate Massage<\/a> comes in. We bring a massage chair and top licensed massage therapist(s) to your office upon request. Just 10 minutes in a massage chair can boost mood and relieve neck and back pain. Plus, with Zeel, admins won\u2019t have to spend valuable time setting up massage schedules \u2013 the Zeel app allows you to schedule chair massage slots and get reminders. No more admin organization work needed to set up these massages!<\/p>\n

Professional development<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s been a long time since this celebration was known as Secretary\u2019s Day. Today, celebrate admins as the professionals they are by offering them the chance for further career advancement and training \u2013 whether that\u2019s in public speaking or computer programming. (We happen to be fans of General Assembly<\/a> for anything from digital marketing to graphic design.)<\/p>\n

Paid day off<\/h3>\n

Americans don\u2019t take nearly enough vacation time, and administrative professionals can find it difficult\u00a0to step away from their many responsibilities. Give administrative professionals their choice of a paid day off to show your appreciation for all their hard work.\u00a0And don’t forget to remind them to turn off their email for the day!<\/p>\n

Tickets to a show<\/h3>\n

It helps to know your administrative pro\u2019s preference on what show or performance they\u2019d like to see, before booking this gift. If you don\u2019t know for sure, ask their colleagues. Whether your executive assistant\u00a0is eager to see La Traviata <\/em>or WWE Smackdown, tickets to an event are a great gift.<\/p>\n

Wine<\/h3>\n

Again, you\u2019ll need to know preferences here \u2013 some people aren\u2019t fans of alcohol. However, if you know that your administrative professionals would appreciate some bubbly or Chardonnay, go ahead and get them some high-end bottles. Or choose a wine subscription delivery service, like Winc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Say thank you<\/h3>\n

A sincere thank you for a job well done is always welcome. Write a nice card or e-mail \u2013\u00a0and while you\u2019re at it, add a gift card for anything from an in-home massage to a nice lunch at that fancy restaurant near the office.\u00a0Gratitude can be the best gift of all<\/a>.<\/p>\n
