Administrative Professionals

By Terry Orr

They are the Heart of any organization - keeping things moving - the nerve center and your trusted partner.

All to often, folks forget to let their administrative person know the great job they are doing and how much that is truly appreciated. Take a moment and thank them as often as possible.

How many times has your administrative saved the day?

The theme for the 2012 Administrative Professionals Day is: “Admins, the pulse of the office.”

Administrative Professionals Day will mark its 60th anniversary on April 25, 2012. Over those decades, the job of an administrative professional has changed dramatically thanks to new tools, techniques and seismic shifts in the economy and culture itself. But admins have remained the steady center of efficiency through it all, helping ensure that jobs get done right, on time and under budget. Admins are one of the engines of business, particularly in a complex economy. In a world that demands the accurate and speedy movement of digital information, admins are masters of data. And they do this while maintaining their more traditional role as the gatekeepers for many customers, clients and employees. Quite simply, admins are the pulse of the office.

I was very fortunate to have had first class professionals who were much more than just a administrative assistant/secretary – they were my assistants/partners in running our organization. They not only helped in the daily operations but were deeply involved in the planning process and could always be relied upon to offer keen insight and provide solid recommendations for improving the future operations.

Administrative Professionals Day

They take notes, answer the phones, and keep everyone in the office organized. Where would we be without our administrative professionals?

Today, there are over 4.1 million Americans that hold the position of administrative assistant. There are another 8.9 million Americans that work in administrative support roles. There are also millions of other secretaries and administrative assistants that work in companies around the world.

The International Association of Administrative Professionals has sponsored Administrative Professionals Day since 1952. This holiday is a worldwide celebration that brings millions of people together to honor secretaries, receptionists, and administrative assistants. It is also one of the largest workplace observances besides national holidays and employee birthdays.

Show your appreciation by sending your secretary or administrative assistant flowers, candy, or even just a thoughtful eCard. They certainly deserve it! [special thanks to punchbowl.com for this article.]
