Manager's Day in Russia is a date that appeared on the calendars relatively recently. After all, the profession itself appeared in the form in which we are accustomed to understand it, only in the 90s. Although before that management existed in Russia, it was only called at that time in a different way, namely management. And just managers of all stripes can be the first to claim to consider Manager's Day in Russia as their professional holiday.
A bit of history
And if you look into the past, the first prerequisites for organizing this professional day arose in the 19th century, when people who were neither owners nor employees were described for the first time in government documents. Such specialists monitored the organization of the production process and made efforts so that it would go on continuously and without excesses. They can be considered the prototypes of modern managers.
Feature
Now this profession covers many more areas of activity. Higher educational institutions annually graduate a huge number of specialists in this field, because the "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 time when Manager's Day in Russia becomes their professional holiday.
In general, this position may 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
transnational corporation. Although from the very beginning the word "manager" was understood to mean employees of recruitment agencies and departments at firms. The duties of these specialists include not only working with documents, but also selecting and interviewing personnel, resolving all kinds of conflict situations among employees, conducting trainings and corporate events. And, by the way, a separate date was allocated for the celebration of these specialists. When is Manager Day in Russia celebrated by HR workers? Like the rest of the world, this is the third Wednesday of September. But the rest of the managers honor a completely different date - November 1.
