Today is Employee Appreciation Day. It is a holiday celebrated annually on the first Friday in March. The holiday was created to recognize and show gratitude to employees for their hard work and dedication.
The history of Employee Appreciation Day can be traced back to the early 1990s when a company called Recognition Professionals International (RPI) was founded. RPI is an organization that focuses on promoting employee recognition and appreciation in the workplace.

This can be done through various methods, such as offering special perks, providing a free lunch or organizing a team outing.
