It always makes sense to celebrate employees, and Employee Appreciation Day 2023 may be the most important Employee Appreciation holiday in many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers\u2014and employees\u2014have been through quite the journey over the last several years. The classic office-based work culture of many companies abruptly shifted from five days a week in the office to full-time remote work after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic brought its own stresses and changes, such as the so-called Great Resignation of 2021 which saw a 20-year high<\/a> in voluntary resignations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last six months, the state of the workforce has shifted toward hybrid work\u2014with employees in the office on some days and working from home on others. A June 2022 Gallup poll<\/a> predicted that 55% of all workers would be following a hybrid schedule by the beginning of 2023<\/strong>. Some employers, like Goldman Sachs and Disney, have gone further, requiring employees to return to the office<\/a> at least four days a week. Employees have consistently indicated a preference for in-home work<\/a>, with almost 87% taking advantage of the ability to work from home where available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, what do employers need to know about this Employee Appreciation Day\u2014which this year, falls on March 3, 2023?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
