Survey shows 50% Of Aussie Admin Workers Feel Underappreciated. GroupTogether Launches National Call to Recognise the Office MVP’s

Celebrate Admin Professionals Day, Friday 2nd May

Every office has that one person who knows where everything is, remembers birthdays, and keeps things running like clockwork – often without so much as a thank you. This Admin Professionals Day, Friday 2 May, GroupTogether, Australia’s leading group gifting platform, is calling on workplaces across the country to celebrate the often-overlooked champions of office culture. 

In partnership with global admin network EA How To,  GroupTogether surveyed 475 administrative professionals to uncover the reality behind the role, and the results are telling. 50% of respondents feel underappreciated and unrecognised in their roles. While 38% of administrative professionals indicated that they do not consistently receive recognition on Admin Professionals Day, while a staggering 32% have never received a gift or any form of acknowledgment. 

Despite being the backbone of the office- the planners, problem solvers, and people connectors who keep everything moving – many admin professionals continue to fly under the radar. Recognition doesn’t need to be grand or expensive; often, a heartfelt ‘thank you’ or a small gesture of appreciation can go a long way in reminding them how valued they truly are. 

To shine a spotlight on their vital role, GroupTogether, will be giving away FREE single-stem flowers in Martin Place, Sydney, from 12pm on Friday 2nd May, as a small but thoughtful way to say thank you to the admin professionals who do so much, so often, with so little fanfare.

“Genuine appreciation isn’t just nice – it’s smart business. When people feel valued, they stay, they care, and they lift up everyone around them. Admin Professionals Day is just a nudge to ensure people remember that. At GroupTogether, we believe it’s time they got the recognition they deserve – not just on Admin Professionals Day, but every day.” – Ali Linz, Co-founder of GroupTogether
