What image springs to mind at the mention of the words ‘personal assistant’? To most, it’s a business-suited, well-groomed minion with thick framed glasses resting on the tip of her nose, chasing the heels of an overbearing boss while having a variety of telecommunication devices strapped on to be able to answer phones, reply messages and take down notes on the go.
With Hollywood also painting entertaining depictions of the lives of young and hopeful PAs bursting into the harshest of industries and waiting for their ‘big breaks’, the realities of such positions are evolving drastically within the workplace. PAs are so much more than manual type-writers, coat hangers, and coffee-makers.
Gone are the days where secretaries are only responsible for filing and typing as observed a generation ago. The modern day secretary is more than a complier of the Companies Act—she has become a crucial and necessary figure; a comrade and support system every company needs in order to meet its goals.
PAs are a valuable asset to our industry and are steadily gaining recognition as fundamental positions in organisations. A report by Jobstore.com (2017 & 2018) was carried out disclose the top 3 positions with the highest pay in various industries in Malaysia.
In the Administrative/ Clerical industry, the highest pay was found to be held by Personal Assistants to the CEO (Manager Level), Administrative/Office Managers, Safety Managers (Manager Level), PAs and Secretaries (Senior/Junior Excecutive) with experience ranging between 3-10 years.
Though results may not be generalised to the entire population, many companies and top-tier leaders see the relevance of such a role and its value to their organisations and as such, a need to produce qualified and highly motivated professionals under the administrative umbrella is vital for prolonged success.
“How important do you see yourself in the face of your organisation? What does improvement mean to you? What existing skills can you further develop? And how can you stay relevant as a valuable asset in your organisation?
These are the questions we hope to address as we take you on a 2-day high-impact learning and sharing experience with highly experienced professionals. We invite you to be part of this conference as we understand the commitment and path to continuous professional development.
