Question: what are your employer's policies around compensation for attending conferences and PD events? Couple of examples. Suppose you attend a one-hour webinar for work. Does your employer pay for that time? Now, how about a 3-day conference, where you're on the go from 8am breakfast with a speaker through to evening social events. What's your paid time arrangement for that? Ramping that up -- suppose you're required to keep up with work while you're at the conference, so you're putting in hours on emails and other work tasks on top of attending conference sessions. Does your paid time arrangement address that? How are you compensated for travel time? Do you feel that your employer's policies are fair? And, if not, what do you think a fair arrangement would be for time spent on conferences and PD activities? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. #Compensation #Conferences #ProfessionalDevelopment

This week, my good friend from college, Eudora Okine, is visiting me from Abu Dhabi, and she brought up a memory that really stuck with me. ➡ She reminded me how, while everyone else in college was just winging it, I had a full-sized whiteboard where I meticulously planned out my monthly activities. I would always send calendar invites and reminder texts for our dance club practices and would take the lead in planning house parties. So, it was no surprise to her that I ended up as an Executive Assistant. ➡ Her observation got me thinking. There are certain traits and habits that naturally lend themselves to excelling in the EA role. For example, being the one who always has a plan, who anticipates what's needed next, and who catches the small details that others might overlook. ✨ In our world, qualities like being organized, detail-oriented, and proactive can make all the difference. These soft skills transform you from someone who simply gets things done to someone who adds real value and insight. Soft skills will enable you to navigate complex workplace dynamics, anticipate needs, and respond proactively to challenges. They help you foster strong professional relationships, enhance your problem-solving abilities, and contribute to a harmonious and efficient work environment. In essence, soft skills are what transform you from a mere task executor to a key contributor in your executive's success. ✅ Want to dive deeper into what makes a successful EA? Sign up for my upcoming free webinar, "Navigating Your First 30 Days as an Executive Assistant." I’ll share insights on how to transition from performing tasks to driving outcomes, solidifying your role as a true asset within your organization. 📆 Register now: https://lnkd.in/eV3XJsWP #executiveassistant #executivesupport #admin #webinar #EA

Last week we brought together 20 of our clients, from leading global private equity and alternative investments firms to discuss 'Developing Admin Superheroes' for our first client roundtable of 2024 🦸♀️🦸♂️ It was so exciting, our Executive Chairman Ben Heathorn flew over to join us! As part of our commitment to providing a genuine #consultancy service to our clients, last year we surveyed companies, candidates and employees in New York as part of our salary and benefits survey. The results weren't surprising - a huge number of business support staff said they were hungry for professional development, with some candidates even prioritising quality learning and development programmes over popular perks like hybrid and flexible working.     However, only a small number of respondents said they'd received training in the last six months, and the majority of hiring managers said they don't have a set training budget for their business support team. We know this is a missed opportunity as a solid learning and development offering allows businesses to outshine their competitors in the hunt for the best talent. We also know a good training offering helps existing staff feel valued and more likely to stay with a company.     That's why we've brought in Georgina Bale from EA Superheroes - a cutting edge training and consultancy business designed to revolutionize EA training programmes! It was great to bring this group together to share existing initiatives, share challenges and brainstorm new ideas. We're already planning our next roundtable - leave a comment with any topics you'd like us to cover next 👇 #roundtable #networking #nycnetworking #adminprofessionals #learninganddevelopment
