This week is Administrative Professionals’ Week and today (Wednesday) is Administrative Professionals’ Day.

Administrative Professionals’ Week is observed the last full week in April each year. Companies and bosses are expected to recognize the work of their secretaries, assistants and other administrative support staff.

Administrative Professionals’ Day was formerly Secretary’s Day but the definition and name expanded years ago.

National Secretaries Week was created all the way back in 1952 through the work of Harry F. Klemfuss of Young & Rubicam, in conjunction with the National Secretaries Association. This association might be known to you now as the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP).

If you are a employer, take time out to recognize your administrative staff this week with a special lunch, candy, flowers or better yet … some time off!
