5 Steps to a Successful Administrative Professional's Week



During the economic downturn many administrative professionals increased their workload without pay and took on more responsibility in the office.

Here are some tips to show your appreciation for your administrative employees:

  • Treat them to a chair massage. We work on-site at a time that is convenient for you and your staff. During April 19th - 23rd take 20% off for any on-site chair massage visit for your administrative staff.

  • Show them you care about their family. Southwest Center for the Martial Arts will host FREE Stranger Danger and Women's Self-Defense classes. Saturday, April 10th, 1pm-2pm, children ages 6-12 years. Sunday, April 11th, 1pm-2pm, women ages 16 and up.

  • Make 'em laugh. Show your funny side during Laugh at Work Week April 1st - 7th. Laughter releases tension, encourages creativity and contributes to effective teamwork and increased productivity. It helps employees relate to each other in the workplace.

  • Organize an appreciation breakfast or luncheon at the office.

  • Praise and recognize. Do not underestimate how important praise and recognition are as motivators.

  • Take the time to write a thank you note to your employees. Everyone likes to feel appreciated!
