National Boss’s Day is celebrated in the United States each year on October 16, this year occurring on Monday, October 16, 2023.
The holiday began as a chance for employees to express their gratitude to their employers or managers, but unfortunately, many people now see work as an unjust demand on their time and resources.
National Boss’s Day is also seen as a way for the relationship between managers and employees to be strengthened.
National Boss Day began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois registered the holiday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Ms. Haroski chose October 16, her father’s birthday, as the date for National Boss Day because she felt he was an exemplary boss.
