Today's secretaries and executive assistants are tasked to perform more and more demanding functions in the workplace.

The dilemma is that they may be expected to accomplish more multifaceted activities than what they are capable of handling.

This might lead to demotivation, stress and confusion as they struggle to manage their workloads and attend to the needs of their

boss and department properly. It is a fact that a manager's work efficiency is directly affected by their secretary's efficiency in providing

the vital support required.  Experts say that the secretary's work can be considered as one of the most difficult jobs, both in the private

and public sectors. It is, therefore, important not to neglect their needs for skills and mindset enhancement.
