10 Ways to Celebrate Your Office Managers

Happy Office Manager Month! Your office manager is the backbone of your practice, helping to keep everything running smoothly for both staff and patients. This month, they deserve to be celebrated for their hard work and contribution to your practice. 

We’re highlighting 10 fun, easy ways to celebrate your office manager. 

1. Coffee: Pick up your office manager’s favorite caffeinated beverage on the way to the office or treat them with a gift card to the local coffee shop. 

2. Breakfast or lunch: Treat your office manager to a meal during their workday. This can be as simple as celebrating with donuts, or you can take your entire team to lunch to celebrate. 

3. Time off: Give your office manager a chance to relax with an additional day off.  

4. Flexible scheduling: If you can’t swing additional time off, flexible scheduling is almost as good. Give your office manager the opportunity to come in late or early for a few days. 

5. Highlight them on social media: Show your gratitude for your office manager on social media. This can include thank you messages from the staff or a “getting to know you” post. 

6. Gift cards: Gift cards for gas, a favorite restaurant, or to support a hobby are always appreciated. 

7. Thank you notes from your staff: A nice note can go a long way. Show your office manager how much you appreciate their hard work with handwritten thank you notes from the rest of the staff.  

8. Donate to their favorite charity: Give back to the community and show your office manager you care by donating to their favorite charity in their name.  

9. Extended lunch break: Extend your office manager’s lunch break by an additional 30 minutes and give them a little extra time to unwind in the middle of the day or run errands. They'll appreciate the break and come back to work even more refreshed. 

10. Happy hour: Toast to your office manager with a post-work happy hour at your favorite local spot. 

However you decide to celebrate your office manager, make sure that they get the recognition they deserve and feel like the MVP that they are.
