Although it might be without typewriters and curlers worn to bed, a Secretary is the most common position in the workplace for women now as it was in the 1950s. But today, women are no longer bound by the gender inequality present in the 50s. Whether it may be an administrative assistant, executive assistant, PA, receptionist or bookkeeper, these supportive staff (male or female) are key to a successful business. Celebrate these fantastic people this Secretary’s Day in South Africa.
Secretary’s Day falls on the date of 3 September 2014, and it’s the cue for bosses and colleagues to show appreciation to all these special ladies and gents of the office. If you have a close friend or family member that is in an admin position, it is also your gifting duty to spread the love.
