Employee Appreciation Day 2012 will be here before you know it! This year, Employee Appreciation Day is Friday, March 2, 2012. How does your organization plan on celebrating? Need a few ideas? We’ve listed some of our top resources below, and stay tuned to the Recognition at Work blog! We’ll have more posts for Employee Appreciation Day coming soon!

Employee Appreciation Day Ideas  on the Recognition at Work blog
We’ve created an entire category on this blog dedicated to Employee Appreciation Day. Browse ideas from our previous celebrations here at Baudville and pick up tips that will help you plan a memorable day.

Special Event Ideas in the Recognition Resource Center 
Our new Recognition Resource Center is your first stop for ideas for special events, like Employee Appreciation Day. Browse articles, videos, and eBooks that will give you great ideas for this year. 

Special Event Videos in the Recognition Resource Center 
We’ve created several videos filled with Employee Appreciation Day ideas in the past two years. But don’t forget about the Customer Service Week, National Nurses Week, and other event videos you’ll find on this page. They also have great employee appreciation ideas you can use for Employee Appreciation Day!

Employee Appreciation Day Gifts
I suggest that you include a small gift in your Employee Appreciation Day 2012 celebration. At Baudville, we always have a surprise during the day. Last year, we each got a Star Performer Twist Top Tumbler  as part of our Hollywood themed day. Employees still use their tumblers every day! A gift serves as a lasting reminder that helps your appreciation stick long after Employee Appreciation Day comes to an end. 

Send a Free ePraise
Want to acknowledge Employee Appreciation Day but don’t have a budget? Send a unique ePraise card to each of your employees. Take the time to write a personal note about the many characteristics and contributions you appreciate about the individual. ePraise is a great example that when it comes to appreciation, you don’t have to have a big cost to have a big impact!
