Birthday Cards from the Boss Make for a Happy Office

These days everyone spends so much time at work; most of us spend more time with our co-workers than with our own families! Since we all have to be there so much, it helps when colleagues all get along well and are congenial. An extra plus is if the office is actually sometimes “fun”.  The boss is instrumental in setting the tone of the office.  A good boss recognizes that a happy office is a productive office, and so will treat employees with respect and kindness.

One way for a boss to keep happy employees and a happy office is to give employees personalized attention. Many managers use birthday cards as a way to give their employees personalized attention. Birthday cards from the Boss make employees feel valued and appreciated.  Birthday cards from the boss help to make employees feel like a family. Birthday cards from the boss also help foster a spirit of celebration in the office, and it is great to have something to celebrate at work!

An employee who gets a birthday card from the boss is bound to feel more loyal to the boss and the company, and will feel like their efforts are appreciated. Happy employees who feel personally appreciated and respected are definitely also more productive, and are more likely to talk about how great their companies are to their friends and family. This could lead to recruiting other good employees and also to gaining new customers.  More importantly, however, birthday cards from the boss just make the workplace a nicer place to go-for everyone!

  1. At our office we not only get a birthday card from the boss, but cake and food! And let me say we have alot of happy employees with this celebration. It’s nice to have the day off for your birthday but not always possible. But it’s not so bad if you have to come to work when you receive a nice card and something to eat – happiness all around!

  2. I appreciate the recognition from my boss on my birthday. It is nice when a boss puts in that little extra effort towards employees. makes you feel appreciated!

  3. I’m pretty new here and I got a birthday card from my supervisor AND one from the big boss himself! It’s really nice to feel like one of the family. I think it’s good sense to make your employees feel valued, even if it’s just a card. It was a very nice surprise.

  4. I went from working in an office that didn’t acknowledge birthdays to one that gives cards and brings in a cake. Quite a change and really nice to feel so appreciated and remembered!

  5. Cupcakes with fillings are my all time favorites. I’m not too crazy about the customary cakes that are store bought. Gift cards are also nice to give (and receive).
