Secretary’s Day in Russia
September 18 · Level 1 · #2057 of 2238
Russia’s Secretary’s Day is an informal professional celebration of the people who keep offices organised. It offers a chance to thank administrative colleagues for coordinating meetings, handling messages and maintaining the everyday order that everyone else relies on.
How it is celebrated: coworkers give flowers, small gifts and personal messages of appreciation. Teams may gather for tea and recognise the patience, attention and ability to juggle tasks that the role demands.
The Russian observance follows a weekday rather than a fixed date: it falls on the third Friday in September, so its calendar date changes each year.
