Why Mother’s Day Should Celebrate More Than Just Mums
Recognising employee contributions this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a time for celebration. But it’s also a reminder of something bigger: caregiving isn’t just about being a parent.
Some of the most impactful people in our lives aren’t called Mum, yet they guide others and offer support in ways that matter. Maybe it’s a mentor who helped shape your career. Or a colleague who always checks in.
They may not get cards or flowers, but their impact deserves recognition.
When is Mother’s Day? In the UK, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

The power of everyday caregivers
Not every leader is a manager. Not every caregiver is a parent. But the people who invest their time or energy in others help shape the world around them.
- The boss who advocates for your growth.
- The colleague who offers guidance when things get tough.
They don’t do it for praise. They do it because they care.
How to recognise the caregivers in your life
✅ Make it personal. A simple 'I appreciate what you do' can mean more than you think.
✅ Acknowledge their impact. Caregivers don’t seek praise, but knowing their support matters reinforces the value of what they do.
Why recognition matters
Caregivers, in all forms, often go unnoticed. They make things easier and step up before being asked. But even the most selfless people appreciate knowing their efforts make a difference.
A small moment of appreciation, whether it’s a simple ‘thank you’ or a thoughtful gesture, reinforces the value of care and support.
How to show appreciation this Mother’s Day (and beyond)
Since Mother’s Day is about celebrating those who care, why not widen the circle a little?
- Say something. A quick 'You always look out for people, and I appreciate it' can make someone’s day.
- Give them a moment to recharge. Whether it’s time off or an experience they’d enjoy, a small gesture can go a long way.
Because sometimes, the best way to care for a caregiver is to remind them they deserve a moment, too.
A culture of recognition
Mother’s Day is about celebrating care - but that care exists in more places than we realise.
At work and at home, the people who support others help shape who we are and how we grow. So this year, while celebrating mums, let’s also appreciate the mentors and leaders who make a difference.
Because caregiving isn’t about a title. It’s about showing up. And that’s always worth celebrating.
