The long holiday weekend is here! Around 95% of companies will be closed on Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day. Established in 1894 as a federal holiday, this day honors the contributions of American workers.

Here are five things that companies should consider doing to celebrate Labor Day.

  1. Close the office early on Friday to give employees a little more time to relax during the holiday weekend.
  2. Plan a company lunch on Friday so employees can enjoy fellowship – and a free meal!
  3. Write appreciation notes for each employee. This should come from the direct supervisor or company owner, depending on the size of the organization.
  4. Take time to celebrate employee accomplishments and work anniversaries.
  5. Bring in coffee and breakfast treats.
