Executive assistants, what kind of appreciation do you actually want?
Since it’s Administrative Professionals Day, I’m curious what actually feels meaningful to you.
Not just what companies think is nice, but what really lands.
A thoughtful message?
Public recognition?
Money?
A flexible gift?
Extra time off?
Your boss finally planning ahead for once?
I work at Giftly, and I’ve seen firsthand how often people in admin/coordination roles are the ones catching small things before they turn into big problems. A lot of that work is invisible unless something goes wrong, which makes me wonder if the usual appreciation can feel a little surface-level.
What actually makes you feel appreciated, and what makes you roll your eyes?
