Administrative Professionals Week is the last full week of April. Administrative Professionals Day is always observed on the Wednesday of Administrative Professionals Week. This week was established in efforts to recognize secretaries and administrative assistants for their contributions to the workplace. A very thoughtful way to express your appreciation for your employees, or even coworkers during this week is by sending them a gift of flowers. A beautiful floral arrangement can brighten anyone’s day and let them know, without words, that their contributions to the company are both recognized and appreciated.
