NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2021 / Most report directly to senior leadership. Two out of three have post-secondary degrees. They are career-focused, handle a wide range of responsibilities, and are eager to upskill. And smart companies will activate the potential of this key talent pool as they chart their COVID-19 recovery strategy. These are among the insights in the largest-ever benchmarking survey of administrative professionals and executive assistants in North America. Conducted by the American Society of Administrative Professionals (ASAP) in April 2020, the inaugural annual study drew 6,050 participants.
"Leaders and companies who want to stay invested in their workforce should pay close attention to their administrative and executive support talent," said ASAP's executive director, Heidi Souerwine. "Strategic thinking, project management and follow-through are among the strong points of good administrative support. They help the executives who rely on them succeed, and the breadth of knowledge they have from working closely with management and leadership is incredibly valuable."
