Secretaries' Day Ringed in Red at Inteflora.co.uk

With Britain experiencing a severe shortage of skilled secretarial staff and predictions that there will shortly be two vacancies per candidate there's never been a better time to say thank you to a dedicated member of the team.

(PRWEB) April 23, 2007 -- With Interflora's extensive range of bouquets, plants, gourmet gifts and fine wines, choosing a gift to show appreciation for a male or female team member has never been easier. Everybody enjoys praise and in today's high pressure working environments it's all too easy to forget to say thank you (http://www.interflora.co.uk/catalog/category.xml?category_id=2001303), even though the secretary, clerical assistant or administration assistant may well be the engine that drives the business or the greaser of the wheels.

Secretaries' Day (www.interflora.co.uk/catalog/category.xml?category_id=2124119) came into existence over fifty years ago, established as a way to recognize secretaries for their contribution in the work place and to attract women into secretarial careers. Things have moved on significantly and today's secretaries don't just take notes and answer phones. To keep pace with changing job titles and the ever expanding responsibilities of today's administrative work force, Secretaries' Day was renamed to Administrative Professional Day in recognition of the important role this group of often over worked and under appreciated individuals perform.

Flick through any diary and there's an endless listing of weird and wonderful days celebrating everything from bananas to beds, most of which bear no significance or relation to our busy day to day working lives. Secretaries' Day on April 25 however, deserves to be ringed in red and remembered by anyone working in an office.
