As an employer, you too will benefit from your
administrative staff's membership in the International Association of
Administrative Professionals (IAAP). Here are just a few of the ways that IAAP
can help you and your company thrive in today's tight economic cycle.
- Build
management level skills by providing your administrative staff opportunities
to assume leadership roles, practice speaking in public, exposure to
project management and strategic planning theories and application, and an
opportunity to participate in budgeting and financial decision-making;
- Enhance
working relationships by demonstrating your commitment to your staff's career
development;
- Improve
employee morale, particularly as so many new demands are being made on your
administrative staff today;
- Encourage
on-going training at a minimal cost and disruption to your day-to-day
operations; and
- Post
your jobs on the IAAP-Vancouver Chapter website to attract the best qualified
candidates.
Your company will also gain access to a network of
administrative professionals representing the best and brightest in their
field. Members regularly call on one another to share best practices and for
guidance with problems or projects.
The International Association of Administrative
Professionals makes life easier for you and your Human Resources staff, too, by
publishing state of the business reports, annual salary guides, and HR
forecasts and trends.
And finally, your company will enjoy discounts at such
diverse companies as UPS, Office Depot, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Avis Car
Rental and National Seminars Group/Padgett-Thompson.
For a nominal investment, these great benefits and more will accrue to you simply by
supporting your administrative professionals in their quest to become the most
informed, best educated and most professional employees you could ever wish
for. After all, IAAP is all about turning jobs into careers!
