About the holiday

Brief History

National Hug Your Boss Day, celebrated on September 13th, is a quirky reminder to appreciate our leaders at work. The day was introduced in 2008 by TipTopJob.com with the goal of improving workplace relationships. The idea was to encourage hugs between employees and bosses, hoping to boost morale and productivity. The idea is to hug your boss on the side, a small but powerful gesture that can break down walls and promote teamwork. However, not every workplace allows hugs, and that’s okay. The spirit of the day continues through kind words, thank-you notes, and shared laughter. It’s all about making work feel more human. This day is not just a fun date, but an important reminder of the evolution of work from survival tasks to modern job landscapes. With the rise of remote and hybrid work, embracing our bosses is more important than ever to keep work connections strong. September 13 is a reminder to thank and appreciate our leaders at work, whether it’s a physical hug, a digital high-five, or a kind word.
