Your bosses play a large role in your life. They’re not just someone who signs your paycheck. These people also create a huge impact on your professional and personal life.
Celebrated every October 16th, Boss’s Day is an event created to strengthen the bond between employees and employers. There are times employees don’t understand the hard work their bosses have to face on a daily basis. This occasion is a great opportunity to appreciate and be grateful for all the things the management have done for their employees.
In giving your bosses gifts, etiquette expert Emily Post’s advice is not to give individual gifts to avoid the perception that you’re trying to gain some sort of special attention. Get together with a few colleagues to get a gift.
Make it a team effort! Here are 5 ways to commemorate Boss’s Day like a boss.
Play Your Boss’s Ideal Sport With The Whole Team
Basketball, volleyball, bowling, tennis, golf, or even board games. Whatever sport they’re into, they’ll love it when they don’t just get to work with their colleagues, but also play with them with the sport they love most. Find a good venue for everyone to play and set the time.
Don’t know how to play their sport? It doesn’t matter, your colleagues (or even your boss) can teach you so you can get in the loop fast. There’s no pressure in winning. It’s just for fun. You might even learn a new sport and love it!

Cooking doesn’t have to be a tedious solo task. You can do it with the rest of your colleagues, whether you’re preparing a cake, lasagna, noodles or salad. Always remember to do it as a team. Think of it as if you’re doing a team-building activity.
