Last year saw a variety of networking events and conferences for assistants. It seems there is a huge appetite for training however we still have issues with our organisation’s paying for us to attend events.

A recent OfficeTeam survey finds that 76% of workers say they are not interested in their manager's job.

I understand a company would be interested in knowing why people unsubscribe so they can improve their business, but a quick voluntary survey back would have been more appropriate.

Thanks to Peter Coombs of FRONTLINE Training & Consulting 8. Once that is done, survey what is left and find the next easiest thing you can do. Imagine sheets of paper fluttering to the flow behind you as you charge from one meeting to the next conference call. It is so easy to get caught up in the spin of the world.
