Secretaries and PAs- An integral part of the organisation

With overtime at an all time high, and finance professionals working longer than average hours, the importance of support staff within the organisation is being increasingly recognised.

Executives within the Finance industry are relying more and more on the support of PAís and Secretaries. Their role within the business is more than one of just support; it is one of organisation and time management.

According to International Association of Administrative Professionals, The PA / secretaryís role in the workplace is becoming more specialized, with a higher concentration on software and equipment knowledge. With a move towards technology, there has been a visibly reduced amount of administration duties involved in the role on a day to day basis, ultimately leading to a more varied job.

Research recently conducted by London based recruitment agency Joslin Rowe confirmed that one of the biggest changes in the workplace has been the changing perception of the PA/Secretary. According to the survey, PAís/Secretaries felt that they were more respected within the organisation, as well as being more highly recognised.

A large number of qualified and experienced PAís and Secretaries are currently being sought by businesses across London.
