"I recently received approval to hire an Office Service Coordinator (our second level administrative professional). It was the first time I have had administrative support and I wanted to set things up so we could be an effective team. I used the publication to help set up a framework for how we would operate. It was helpful in identifying areas that should be considered for good communication and office management."

Attention Managers and Executives

How much would you pay for just one tip that helps your administrative professional work 100% more effectively with you 365 days per year?

$10? $50? $100? $500? $1,000?

What's it worth to you to have an effective administrative professional who adds value to your day and company year round?

What if your administrative professional could improve his or her performance so that he or she works more productively -- possibly gaining more ability to free you from some of your current workload tasks?

Would you like that or is your workload so slow for you now that you can't bear to delegate one more thing off your plate?

If you could improve the performance and productivity of your administrative professional -- with even just one tip --couldn't you then focus even more on strategy and projects? Isn't that the work that is vital to your senior level position?

You'd be able to focus less on the many tasks you can be delegating to your administrative partner.

Of course, I'm sure I couldn't walk into your office any day this week and find you doing work that your administrative professional could be handling. They pay you high five or six figures (or more) to do higher-level work -- that your admin pro can't do. Am I right?

Yes...I'm being facetious a little bit there. I've personally worked in the corporate, nonprofit and higher education sectors and I know -- without a doubt -- that I absolutely can walk into many senior level manager and executive offices right now and there I WILL find them doing work that they can and should be delegating to their administrative professionals.

Do you ever find yourself "guilty" of that scenario?

Thank goodness I'm NOT the president or owner of your company, right? Because he or she is not paying you high five or six figures or more to do work you should be able to delegate to your administrative professional. You wouldn't want to be caught doing that, right?

That's why you need to invest in developing and training your administrative professional -- and do so ongoing.

There are so many benefits to YOU for investing in your administrative professional's continuous learning. Sure she (or he) benefits too -- but the benefit of your admin implementing a few tips to improve her or his work relationship with you or productivity trickles up to YOU.

So that's why I'm asking you, "How much would you pay for just one tip that helps your administrative professional work 100% more effectively with you 365 days per year?

$10? $50? $100? $500? $1,000?

What's it worth to you to have an effective administrative professional who adds value to your day and company year round?"

Obviously, if the value is $0 to you, then -- and this is a "no-brainer" -- you shouldn't have an administrative professional.

But if you want that ROI, sign your administrative professional up for Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals membership (VAAP). VAAP is operated by The Effective Admin (the site you're at now) and its founder and president Karen Porter (that's me).

I guarantee all my educational resources for administrative professionals. Since I've been producing and delivering them since 2004, I know what impact my educational information can have on admins. Serving professional development, education and training to administrative professionals is what I do full time, year round.

I'm not new to this sector. I've worked hands-on in the admin field and above the admin field for many years and now I advise, guide, and instruct administrative professionals and provide them with educational and training resources.

You can join VAAP at a company level and give ALL of your company's administrative assistants and executive assistants access to ongoing tips and resources to improve their job performance. It's all done through informal eLearning -- downloadable information. They never have to leave their desks. And I assure you that this format of informal learning, through eLearning, is what many administrative professionals want and like.

What's this going to cost you?

Very little in terms of your ROI -- if your administrative professional implements just one good tip (out of the thousands of tips available in VAAP information), she or he could save YOU hundreds of hours per year by reducing your workload or implementing processes that could increase your effectiveness in the company.

Truly, she could even learn information from the VAAP materials  that saves the company money or that sparks an idea she can share with you for the good of the company or your workplace goals.

But as I've been suggesting, what your administrative professional does with her time at work affects your time at work. Your administrative professional is there to support you and the goals of your department and company.
