APA has today called on BIS, the Government Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, to recognise the important role played by PAs, as the principal supporters of business leaders, across all sectors in the UK.
Ahead of the launch of its Annual Business Leaders Survey APA Director General, Gareth Osborne, reiterated to Government the important role played by PAs in the effectiveness of every organisation, he said: “Our survey, now in its fourth year, has consistently shown that a great PA can increase a CEO’s personal organisational effectiveness (productivity) by as much as 45%. And, given the huge differential in remuneration, demonstrates why a PA is such a major asset to Directors and Senior Managers. Every leader should have one.”
APA is proactively promoting the significant advantage of PAs, especially to early-stage new businesses, as Government cuts are likely to causes redundancies in the public sector. Gareth, himself an entrepreneur with numerous successful businesses behind him, said: “Most businesses are started by two people, both having a skill or passion for the purpose of the business (two recruiters will start a recruitment agency). As experts in their field they possess the passion to make the early stage business successful and profitable. They work hard and grow and start to recruit specialist staff who need to be managed, and founders progressively find themselves doing less of income generating work and more of the things they are neither trained for nor good at. The solution is easy, one great PA will take all the day-to-day work from them and handle a range of varied and challenging tasks, leaving them free to be the best in their specialist field.”
‘Great PAs Pay’ is a training course recently launched by APA to show Directors how to recruit, train and use a PA for maximum effect. For further details contact training@paprofessional.com
