Every office (except, maybe the ones where you WFH!) has that person. The meeting wrangler, the birthday remember-er, the quiet achiever who colour codes calendars, magically replenishes office supplies and generally makes chaos look calm.
But, when it comes time to say thank you – whether it’s for Admin Professionals Day (hint hint, it’s tomorrow) or just because someone’s gone above and beyond – it’s often not as easy as it should be. Cue the awkward office whip-around, the last-minute dash to the shops, or the “hope-they-like-it” scented candle.
That’s where digital platform GroupTogether quietly saves the day when it comes to office gifting drama. It’s the simplest way to get everyone to chip in for a card and gift – no spreadsheets, no chasing, no awkward IOUs. Just one link, shared with the team, and you’re done. In fact, it’s what a lot of admins already use to organise gifts for other people. Bit poetic, right?
You can keep it low-key with a digital card signed by the team, or go all out with a gift – think pamper hampers, restaurant vouchers, or the very handy AnyCard, so the recipient can choose something they actually want. It’s thoughtful, easy, and works just as well for hybrid teams.
And, while Admin Day is a great excuse to show appreciation, the truth is these small moments of recognition matter all year round. In fact, a recent survey of Aussie admin professionals reveals that half feel underappreciated, and a third say no one has ever acknowledged them on Admin Professionals Day.
That’s a big reminder that a little gratitude and a great office gift can go a long way!
