Happy Administrative Professionals Day! We’d like to take a moment to thank all the administrative professionals in our team for all that they do to ensure our business operations always run smoothly.

One of the most common misconceptions I encounter, when recruiting for the Business Support function, is that the jobs are easy. A lot of people think that being a Team Assistant/ PA/ EA is about scheduling meetings, booking travel, and answering emails. They do not realise how much skill, creativity, and initiative it takes to be a successful Business Support professional, especially in today's extremely fast-paced and dynamic working environment. Having worked closely with these individuals, the truth really is that being an executive assistant is not just a job, it's a career that requires a lot of skills, dedication, and passion; professionals working in this function are integral to the success of any organisation. They are the ones who make things happen behind the scenes, often without getting much recognition or appreciation. It is a job that requires a lot of patience, flexibility, and resilience. TAs/ PAs/EAs/ Secretaries/ Administrators/ Business Managers all must deal with constant pressure, deadlines, interruptions, and changes. They must anticipate the needs of their executives and their stakeholders. They must balance multiple priorities and expectations. Business Support professionals deserve recognition and appreciation for their valuable work. They should also have opportunities for professional development and career advancement. They really are not just support staff, they are key partners in achieving the organisation's goals and vision. #businesssupport #inspiration #recognition #business

In fifteen years of working as an Executive Assistant, I've only met one male EA. Today was the day I met my second, and I was pleasantly surprised and excited at the prospect of working together. It got me thinking why this might be the case. I guess, traditionally, this role has been seen as a female one, which the below article touches on. I also noticed a post on LinkedIn today, which rang so true! - "Assistant is a misnomer. We have moved far beyond phones and calendars and leftover terminology of the "Mad Men" era. EAs are the right hands, confidants, keepers of the secrets, relationship managers, gatekeepers, communication controllers, event planners, speech writers, protectors of reputation, efficiency operation specialists, project leads, and travel masterminds. We solve problems before they exist. We are an executive's business partner. We do not simply assist. Yet it is challenging to shake off a certain stigma that comes with the title. "Assistant" really diminishes the high level of skills we bring to the table. Don't overlook administrative assistants based on a title; hire us based on our skills. We have many." - Sarah Browning, MBA I couldn't agree more! Gone are the days of EAs only typing documents and making cups of tea. It is a varied, exciting, at times challenging, but rewarding career, which I would love to see more men enter into.

Part 1: Question? Are you feeling like your administrative assistant isn't reaching their full potential? 🧐 The key might be simpler than you think: a clear job description.
