Bosses Day is an annual holiday celebrated in various countries to recognize and appreciate the contributions of bosses and supervisors in the workplace. It is typically observed on or around October 16th.
The origins of Bosses Day can be traced back to 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company, registered the holiday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Haroski’s intention was to create a day to show appreciation for her boss, who she felt deserved recognition for his support and guidance.
