Stapler and staples – Always always get the best stapler your company can afford and use the same brand staples as the stapler. I know this sounds silly but how frustrating is it when you can’t staple a few bits of paper together… trust me it will save you so much time having a decent stapler! Office Equipment.

Assistants already have great transparency skills – work gets done, things get organised and yet no one knows how it happened! If only we could cast spells – I’d have a potion for minute writing, automatically photocopying and stapling board packs oh and I’d put a spell on sales people that lie about cold calling my manager!

For assistants who have managers that engage with social media it is important that they have a variety of great images that they can use when tweeting, updating LinkedIn and writing for the corporate blog. I wrote a blog about this a few months ago that gives tips on keeping your social media organised. Be relevant. Twitter Ads.

I used to work for a company that didn’t have an online system for expenses (loads of companies have yet to invest in this) so I would put off doing expenses because it involved spreadsheets, photocopying receipts then photocopying the spreadsheet and lots and lots of stapling… urgh. I hated it. Automate as much as possible.
