125 Thoughtful Mother’s Day (Hari Ibu) Wishes for Working Mothers at Office

In many Malaysian companies, employees who are also moms are team leaders, mentors, caregivers, and everyday heroes who balance both work and family responsibilities with grace.

Taking the time to appreciate working mothers can make a meaningful difference, not just in words, but in the culture you build in your company.

With Mother’s Day 2025 approaching, it’s the perfect time to craft genuine and respectful Mother's Day wishes that reflect appreciation and support.

This article provides a curated collection of messages for you, HR professionals and business leaders, which can be used to celebrate the incredible moms in your team.

What is Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is a day to honour mothers and their role in shaping families, communities, and society.

The modern celebration of this day began in the United States, but it is now celebrated worldwide, including in Malaysia.

Originally introduced by Anna Jarvis in the early 1900s, Mother’s Day was meant to be a moment for children to spend time with their mothers and recognise their love, care, and sacrifices.

Over time, it evolved into a widely celebrated occasion, often involving flowers, cards, and heartfelt gestures.

It is also an opportunity to acknowledge mothers in the workplace.

Not just as parents, but as professionals who contribute significantly to business success while managing the demands of motherhood.

When is Mother’s Day Celebrated in Malaysia?

In Malaysia, Mother’s Day is celebrated every second Sunday of May, which means in 2025, it falls on 11 May.

While it’s not a public holiday, the date is significant for many families and often marked with personal celebrations over the weekend.

For HR teams and employers, this timing presents an opportunity to plan ahead.

Since it typically falls just after the first week of the month, companies can prepare greetings, internal messages, or even small tokens of appreciation during early May.

A timely gesture, even if simple, can show that the company values its people not only as professionals but as individuals with families and personal milestones.

Why Celebrate Mother’s Day in the Workplace?

Working mothers often carry a dual burden: one at home and another in the office.

Recognising their efforts during Mother’s Day helps create a workplace culture that values balance, empathy, and respect.

By celebrating this day, employers can:

Boost employee morale: A thoughtful message can go a long way in making employees feel seen and valued.
Support work-life harmony: Acknowledging mothers shows that the company understands the personal commitments of its team members.
Foster an inclusive culture: Mother’s Day provides an opportunity to celebrate different life experiences, making the workplace feel more human and caring.

Whether it’s a handwritten card, a message in the team group chat, or a post on the company’s LinkedIn page, these simple expressions of appreciation can strengthen trust and connection within the organisation.
