Things used to be so easy, They told us it was a holiday we thought about it for a little while and sent a gift or card that was appropriate. The waters are a little muddier when it comes to the week of April 19, 2010 : Secretaries Day? Administrative Professionals Week? Who has a secretary anymore? The terms in use today are “Administrative Professionals” and “Executive Admins”. They are broader terms, that encompass more flexibility than the original “Secretary” role. If your company is more informal the person you need to thank is the one who keeps the office running and keeps everyone in the right place at the right time.
National Secretaries Week was created in 1952 to encourage more people to consider careers in the secretarial/administrative support field.
Administrative Professionals Day gifts are by far the most common way of giving recognition to these most important people on your staff. What is the top gift?….. Giving flowers. Maybe, before you forget, you should order some flowers now! If you have several people to thank we can start at $10.00 per person at the same address, as long as the order totals at least $35.00 before delivery.
In 1955, the observance date of National Secretaries Week was moved to the last full week of April. The name was changed to Professional Secretaries Week in 1981, and became Administrative Professionals Week in 2000 to encompass the expanding responsibilities and wide-ranging job titles of administrative staff.
