It certainly feels like there is a holiday for everything. Administrative professionals deserve a holiday because it is often a thankless job that usually involves unending paperwork and delivering news, both good and bad. It is not fun to tell people they have been fired or catching up with them to get their information to process an insurance claim, but somebody has to do it. The administrative team is what makes a business run smoothly every day. When the staff knows they are confidently represented by an administrative team that is not only qualified but dedicated, they are more likely to give one hundred percent to make sure the ship runs smoothly.
An Administrative Professionals Day gives these tireless workers a chance to relax and reflect on how they help employees throughout the year. They help them by making sure their insurance needs and paid vacations are in order, not to mention processing that annual pay increase. They help company leaders by making sure they hire competent employees who are dedicated to the success of the company. Then they must monitor their progress to ensure that company standards are met and there are no disputes. If an issue should surface, they are fully prepared to resolve it fairly and as quickly as possible. You can understand why for one day in the year they are given a chance to relax.
