Human Resource Manager Day is observed in Russia and some other countries every third Wednesday of September. This unofficial professional holiday celebrates the contributions and responsibilities of human resource managers, who oversee various aspects of the employee life cycle, including hiring, training, and employee relations. The day was established to highlight the importance of HR managers in ensuring organizational success and employee welfare. The concept of human resource management has roots dating back to the Industrial Revolution, with early advocates like Robert Owen and Charles Babbage recognizing the link between employee well-being and organizational success. The first professional HR organization, the Welfare Workers’ Association, was founded in the UK in 1913, and the term "human resources" was first used in 1958 by E. Wight Bakke. On this day, HR managers often receive congratulations from co-workers, bosses, and families, acknowledging their hard work and dedication.
