Many of us are now working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But that doesn’t mean we should forget the people in our work lives who make our days better, and our jobs a little easier.
Wednesday, April 22, 2020, is Administrative Professionals Day, a time when we recognize those who, in many ways, are the backbone of our businesses.
Administrative professionals take on important tasks.
- Bookkeeping and accounting
- Bill collections
- Customer service
- Answering phones
- Word processing
- Filing
- Maintaining records
- Answer 911 calls and dispatch police, and fire and rescue crews

- Process routine transactions at your bank
- Generate reports
- Take dictation
- Books conference calls, flights, hotels
- Keeps track of your employee birthdays and other important office dates

- Help to maintain a team atmosphere
- And much, much more.
