When is Manager's Day in Russia? We'll find out!

Manager's Day in Russia is a date that appeared in calendars relatively recently. After all, the profession itself appeared in the form in which we used to understand it, only in the 90s. Although management existed in Russia before that, it was only called differently at that time, namely management. And managers of all stripes are the first to claim to consider Manager's Day in Russia as their professional holiday.

A little history

And if you look into the past, the first prerequisites for the organization of this professional day arose in the XIX century, when government documents for the first time described people who are neither owners nor employees. Such specialists monitored the organization of the production process and made efforts to ensure that it went on continuously and without excesses. They can be considered prototypes of modern managers.

Feature

Now this profession covers much more fields of activity. Every year, higher educational institutions produce a huge number of specialists in this profile, because "management of organizations" is rightfully considered the most popular area of training. And then graduates of these universities make their careers. And there comes a moment when the Manager's Day in Russia becomes their professional holiday.

In general, this position can have variations: from sales to personnel management, from production control to the hotel business. And according to the degree of responsibility, managers are also different: from a simple consultant in the salon to the manager of a multinational corporation. Although from the very beginning, the word "manager" meant employees of recruitment agencies and departments at firms. The duties of these specialists include not only working with documents, but also the selection and interview with staff, solving all kinds of conflict situations among employees of the enterprise, conducting trainings and corporate events. And, by the way, a separate date was allocated for the holiday of these specialists. When is Manager's Day celebrated in Russia by HR industry workers? As in the whole world, it is the third Wednesday of September. But the rest of the managers honor a completely different date - November 1.

Celebration

Today it is difficult to say when Manager's Day in Russia has become a well-known and revered holiday. In principle, it is still not officially recognized. Which, however, does not prevent office workers from celebrating it with pomp. And managers know how to have fun. By this date, it is customary to send greeting cards, themed pictures and poems from online office folklore to each other by corporate mail. And in some digs, they prefer to celebrate this day with fun office games: chair rides, caricatures, jokes, which even the management encourages – because it also refers to the concept of "manager". Sometimes even corporate parties can be dedicated to this date.

Therefore, knowing when the manager's day is in Russia, do not be lazy to congratulate your friends and acquaintances working in this field, they will be pleased, because not so many people know about this date, even among the managers themselves.
