How Do You Celebrate Your Receptionist?

Posted on May 7, 2018 by Jean Eaton in Blog

National Receptionists’ Day is celebrated annually on the second Wednesday of May. It is celebrated by organizations around the world, including the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand. National Receptionists’ Day was first celebrated in 1991 as a special day to recognize and appreciate the many contributions receptionists make to an organization.

The purpose of National Receptionists’ Day (Wednesday, May 9, 2018) is to:

  • Foster recognition of the importance of the receptionists role. They are usually the first person a customer or client meets when they visit a company.
  • Promote pride and professionalism amongst receptionists for the important role they play within an organisation.
  • Give receptionists an opportunity to share stories and link up with other colleagues.

The importance of the role played by receptionists is often overlooked. Instead, follow the advice from Nelson Scott, SEA Consulting:

“Take time on National Receptionists Day  to let these “Managers of First Impressions” know how much you depend on them. Your organization's receptionist is often the first person that clients meet when visiting your office or calling it on the telephone.”
