Adminology: New Culture of Training for Administrative Professionals
Out with the young, blond, stereotypical secretary, and in with a new ideology of a professional administrative career. This vital, yet frequently over looked profession deserves the same amount of respect given to other, more senior levels. Training for administrative professionals is imperative to a business’s success. Even those in the profession don’t give themselves the credit and importance they deserve. Professional development is frequently overlooked for these administrative assistants, and succession planning for executive assistants is virtually nonexistent at too many companies. "Adminology," discovered and presented by Office Dynamics, captures both the art and science of administration, and institutes a proud, career-choice attitude as opposed to a transient job or stepping-stone perception towards the administrative profession. Adminology is a study of workplace administrative trends, an incorporation of innovative strategies, and a future-driven, big-picture thought process. Adminology allows for administrative professionals to optimize their full potential, even providing the opportunity to become a certified "Adminologist." Administrative assistants truly hold together the day-to-day workings of an organization, and deserve to be taken seriously as true assets. Adminology training can help open doors for this budding profession. And with an official holiday devoted to them, (Administrative Professional’s Day-this year April 28th, 2010), who can argue?
