Administrative Professionals\u2019 Day is right around the corner on April 24, 2019! Making sure your church admin feels valuable should be on the top of your list. <\/span>According to Simon Sinek<\/span><\/a>, when someone doesn\u2019t feel they are valuable or appreciated, they live on a perpetual cortisol drip. On the other hand, when someone does feel valuable they feel safe and committed. You want your church admin to feel committed and safe working with your team. Celebrating them is simply one way to ensure this happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, planning to celebrate your church administrative assistants can either elicit excitement or anxiety depending on your personality. Since April 24, 2019, is quickly approaching, we want to help you prepare with top-notch ideas to make your church admins feel appreciated. So whether your heart rate escalates at the thought of outwardly showing appreciation or whether it rises out of pure excitement, we’d like to introduce you to our top 8 ways to show your church staff some love on Administrative Professionals\u2019 Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Provide Free Breakfast or Lunch<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scheduling a breakfast to celebrate members of your church administration team is an excellent way to show your appreciation. During the breakfast, you can have a few staff members share why they feel your church administration deserves praise. This not only helps them feel appreciated, but it also shows them how valued they are in many different ways. If you want to make this an extra special breakfast, find out what their favorite breakfast foods are and serve those for the meal. Take note of any allergies or food habits. You don\u2019t want to serve regular donuts and croissants to someone who eats a gluten-free diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another great way to celebrate your church administrators is to celebrate with a luncheon. You can make this luncheon a surprise or an already scheduled event. Serve one of their favorite meals to make it extra special. To add to the celebration of making your church admin feel special, invite their families or spouses to join you. This creates an extra piece to the celebration they won\u2019t expect.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Extend Their Lunch<\/span><\/h2>\n

Piggy-backing off the celebratory lunch idea, allow all of your church admins extra time to go out to lunch. Allowing this extra time can create time to breathe and relax during their workday. Encourage them to take advantage of this opportunity because they deserve it! If you really want to go above and beyond, find a way to pay for each of the admins\u2019 lunches as they go out to eat together.<\/span><\/p>\n
