Ukraine's Civil Service Day is celebrated every year on 23 June. On the same day the world marks United Nations Public Service Day, established by the UN General Assembly in 2002. It is the professional holiday of staff at ministries, agencies, regional and district administrations and local councils: everyone who keeps the state running every day by issuing documents, making decisions and helping citizens. Below you will find short Civil Service Day wishes, formal messages for teams, wishes for a colleague or manager, poems and gift ideas. Other professional dates for the year are in our calendar of professional holidays in Ukraine.
On 23 June public servants are honoured in Ukraine and worldwide

How to celebrate with the team
Thanks and certificates — recognise everyone's contribution, even with a few words at a team meeting.
Morning flowers for the office — a bouquet for the team or small arrangements on each desk set a festive mood.
A team photo — take a group picture to hang in the office or post on the website.
A wishes board — everyone leaves a few kind words for colleagues on sticky notes.
An informal get-together — lunch, a picnic or a board-game evening after work.
Toasts for the team celebration
Colleagues, here's to our profession! May our work bring not only a salary but also pride in what we do.

What to write on a card with flowers
Happy birthday! May this bouquet remind you how many people love you.
For the best moments of the year — flowers, sincere words and hugs.
May every day be as bright as this bouquet.
Happy birthday! Wishing you health, peace and joy in the little things.
Sign the card by hand: even two lines in your handwriting mean more than a long printed message.
Civil Service Day poems
To serve the people is an honour, It takes both knowledge and great care. May success be yours forever And worries vanish into air!
Happy Civil Service Day! May wisdom light your way, May people thank you, through and through, And happiness stay close to you!
Gift ideas for a public servant
Understated business gifts suit a public servant: a quality planner, a pen, a document organiser, a travel mug for long meetings or a management book. Flowers are a fitting gift for a colleague or manager: a box arrangement of roses and orchids works well in an office, needs no vase and lasts a long time.
