Let this be day a reminder of the importance and contributions of administrative staff to the smooth operation of an organization.
It’s that time again in offices around the country, National Administrative Professionals Day is April 24th! It’s important to recognize the contributions of administrative staff to the smooth operation of an organization. Administrators manage many less glamorous parts of day to day operations, whether it’s managing emails and calendars, filing, ensuring office supplies are in stock, and sometimes working with finance or social media. If you chose to have a big office celebration, or a nice donut breakfast, it’s important to acknowledge the value that administrators bring to the workplace and to let them know that they are appreciated.
Are you considering jumping into this career path? Here are some solid reasons why it’s a fantastic choice:
You’re an integral part of the organization
Every business out there needs skilled administrative professionals. That means there’s always a demand for skilled people in these roles. Being in the thick of business operations gives you a front-row seat to how things really operate, which is very valuable.
Room to grow
Starting in an administrative role opens many doors for moving up the career ladder. You could find yourself in specialized roles, or even management down the line. You will also develop a set of transferable business skills and be provided networking opportunities.
Jack-of-all-trades skill set
