Administrative Professionals Day

They take notes, answer the phones, and keep everyone in the office organized. Where would we be without our administrative professionals?

Today, there are more than 1.4 million people that hold the position of administrative assistant working in the United States and another 8.9 million people working in various administrative support roles.

Since 1952, the International Association of Administrative Professionals has honored office workers by having a day dedicated to them. Administrative Professional Day is one of the largest workplace observances outside of employee birthdays and major holidays. This event is celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people for community events, educational seminars, and corporate activities.

Show your appreciation by sending your secretary and administrative assistants flowers, candy, or even just a thoughtful eCard. They certainly deserve it!

Today is also World Creativity and Innovation Day
