Come to think of it, why don't we have a "Sweep the floor with Managers Day?"

Oh clever indeed! You know full well that I meant to say................
Use managers body as broom handle and hair as bristles - translated as "sweep the floor with managers"

I hope that "broom" operator has read the instruction manual and completed the mandatory site safety training.
What can I say. Round here your wish is my command
Getting serious for a moment, I think the campaign is a fairly good idea. My reservations about getting so specific are really out of concern for escalation. However, such a campaign performs an important function - raising awareness that even what might be considered by some as the "lesser cogs" of the business machine play an important part, deserve to be treated with respect and recognised for their contribution.

We do that through something called remuneration

Personally I believe that this may in fact be a bigger tool to have receptionists take themselves and their profession seriously, because it stands to reason that if THEY do, everyone else will!
I remember the receptionist at one of my first places of employment. A waste removal company! This woman was young, but always impeccably groomed, extremely serious about her work and very professional in her approach....the result? Her attitude filtered through to ALL the office staff and those (like the drivers) who had contact with the office. This company grew from zero to hero in a few years and is today JSE listed.
I believe she played her part!

Have to confess to the reaction, darn!, next we need to acknowledge everyone in this way.
I resisted the temptation to post that, but I have been thinking about it.
Why the need for a "day" for any particular position in a company.
There will always be "excellent" receptionists and also seriously deficient secretaries!
You should not "spoil" them according to their position - if we insist on a Secretary's day, or a receptionist day, perhaps we then need a "Tea lady" day? (She could possibly be the most appreciated employee in the company).
Sorry to be such a spoil sport, but it is how I feel.
Your own decision to specifically set aside a day to treat your receptionist really special as a thank you - will be more appreciated when it is not an expected "norm"!
