Patricia Bays Haroski registered “National Boss’s Day” with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. Working as a secretary for her father at the State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, Haroski chose October 16th, as the holiday’s official calendar date. Haroski’s efforts were rewarded when in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner officially proclaimed Boss’s Day.
Haroski’s aim in creating Boss’s Day was to give employees an opportunity to show appreciation for their managers and supervisors. Celebrating Boss’s Day can bring about a stronger relationship between managers and their workers.
Gift Traditions
During the celebration of Boss’s Day, employees show their appreciation to their managers and supervisors by giving them simple gifts or tokens of appreciation. Gifts need not break the bank. Individual employees may give modest gifts or join together with other workers to give bigger group gifts.
Gift ideas for the boss could include a nice watch, a bottle of wine, or a customized pen or coffee mug. If your boss enjoys smoking, you might also consider a box of his or her favorite cigars and cigar accessories. Or better yet, give your boss a membership to Torch Cigar Bar.
