The True Value of an Executive PA

According to the results of a survey of 454,000 CEOs conducted by Reed.co.uk and TotalJobs, PAs contribute as much as 40% to their boss's productivity. This suggests that a good PA could be worth around ten times what they are actually being paid. Paradoxically, when it comes to training, PAs have a battle on their hands to convince the boss that they are worth the investment in training. Now that you have confirmation of just how valuable you are, don't allow yourself to be put off this year, ask your boss to invest in your professional development with specialised PA training, or ask your organisation to pay the one-off (£12.97) fee for gaining access to over 150 PA and business articles and tools on this site, which will help you to keep up-to-date with best practice and industry standards.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR
