Heroes At The Workplace
Today's the day Administrative Professionals get formal recognition for their hard work keeping offices running smoothly. While I hope your boss and coworkers treat you well EVERY day, I hope that today they treat you EXTRA special. From my various stints as a receptionist, I learned it's a job that requires a lot of juggling. And one must keep calm in the face of a busy switchboard and requests from multiple people; colleagues as well as guests in the lobby. It's not as easy as it looks! I thought it would be fun to use this space to list some of the ways Administrative Professionals can save the day in the workplace.
- Fix the jam in the copy machine because nobody else knows how
- Restock the paper supply before the office runs out
- Provide scissors and staplers when people can't find their own
- Knew where the boss is when an urgent matter comes up
- Make copies of important documents and then retrieve them on request
