When I worked as an executive assistant, I was always flattered on Administrative Professional’s Day when my leader would generously give me a gift in recognition for my service and hard work. This year for Administrative Professional’s Day, reconsider the bouquet of flowers and rethink the gift cards. Provide them with continuing education and professional development opportunities. A stellar event can be transformative for an administrative assistant.

As a former executive assistant, I have a huge respect and appreciation for the field of office administration. The role is absolutely essential to the success of any business, and yet, administrative professionals are often overlooked, under-appreciated and under-utilized.
